A few of last years bucket reared heifers getting a shake of meal to keep them happy. They will be gone in a few weeks, grass is too good at the moment but after the rain this last few days ground is getting soft

Are we moving again?
When they get used to moving every day they expect to keep moving.

They look nice in both photos.

Wish we had grass left like that!

I wish the rain would stay away for another 2 weeks to get grass ate off

I'm from Wales so I know what you mean about the rain!

We've been out of grass for a couple of weeks thanks to the rain, but as it’s so mild they are still out and getting round bales of silage a day.

 

[Sheeps]

There is no way I could put out bales. The ground would be too wet. If I can get grass ate it time for the house, every week is a week less grasping silage.

We have traks in most fields so don't make too much mess. Bales we have plenty, straw is something we religiously try to save so the longer they are out the better.

Though in fact I’m pretty pleased with the ewe lambs. Enjoyed the sun today.

Typical Badger Face, swimming against the tide, Welsh Non-conformist. The few we had were known as Multi-Coloured Hooligan Sheep, excellent mothers, taught their offspring the quickest route out of every field. I miss them, real characters.
