A wee drop yesterday. And it got wet. Cutting another drop today, and it'll probably get wet too.
. What was that about fortune favours the brave?

Very hard to judge at the minute. We stayed dry till about 6pm yesterday, but it looked like the other side of the lough got washed out at lunchtime. It's more good luck,than good guidance.

Aye. Complete gamble. We didn't get a drop until 6. But ballymena could have had it earlier I think. It Spattered and drizzled for two hours. So much for passing heavy showers. This was rain just sitting on top of us with no wind to move it on. Mowed it flat, and it wasnt actually in bad shape this morning. Was ready for a kick by half ten. It's trying to spit at the moment, looks clearer to the south. Worse towards limavady.

Fingers crossed you get it lifted in reasonable shape. Next couple of days look reasonable.

Thanks. It's not for the want of tryin on our part. It's definitely dying a bit in between the showers but it'll need a decent blow up tomorrow to get it in shape. Showers haven't been too bad bar one short one after lunch. But there one just on now that's quite damp.

Not as easy as I suggested down here, alot of grass down and the ground getting wet, possibly too wet for lifting
As the saying goes,call me what you want just don't call me early in the morning.
Regarding things Irish,I'm very disappointed with the lack of opposition from all Lakeland producers who are of a nationalist position to their forced recruitment to the BRITISH Red tractor scheme. A scheme which has for it's symbol a tractor bearing the flag of the oppressor of the occupied six counties.
While I may not share their political outlook I will support them if any would wish to try to stop Lakeland's insult on their nationalist identity.
My opposition has got absolutely nothing to do with the predicted bollocking I'm going to get from some young blade about having calf pens made from pallets and baler twine, cobwebs in the parlour and cat sh!t under the bulk tank!
Apparently they're very strict about where your cat can Pooh.

That's the least of your problems. It's the tedium of the paperwork.

There's a mention on another thread about a consultation on new regs - one of which is to have a calving aid cleaning protocol, and probably records therewith.
I must remember to fill in my 'calving aid cleaning and disinfection record' after I've used it to calve a cow at half 2 in the morning.
What's all this about using a calving aid.
You need to breed cows that calve themselves. I couldn't tell you where mine is at!

The decent spell is only beginning this morning! Is it long enough to count as a spell?
