[QUOTE="Boydvalley, post: 5021086, member: 21252"] So tin hat on time. I think we all need to be a bit more prepared for late springs. I am a believer in sun spot activity affecting the weather pattern. Last time we had to properly dig ourselves out was 1982 corresponding to a low in activity and we are now in another period of low activity. The early 2000 were high activity and we all got used to mild winters. My kids really hardly saw any snow. So another 5 or 6 years of this at least. I know practices have changed but cattle turn out was always 10/12 April when I was growing up which is where we are now. This is still exceptional which always happens occasionally but we haven't had a good spring for few years. I know this doesn't help everyone struggling ( I had 2 grass staggers despite bolusing and 3 mastitis yesterday) but for those staying in I think we are in for a period of higher prices if you can stand the grief.
