Contractor coming in morning to sow our wee corner. Will take a bit longer for Conrod to sow the north coast

Don't think it's the year to be waiting on a dry week!

Definitely hasn’t been so far if the weather was alright and ground carried we spread away any chance we got

No pics , back home to clean out calves . It wasn't ploughed but when empty tractor is struggling no point hooking anything on

 

[Cowlife]

Bit of light rain but ground carrying ok. I'd say crack on in light of the forecast

Faired now, might have a look later. Least we got an extra hour of daylight.

Wet morning with me. Wife and I took the weins for an easter egg hunt round Garvagh forest and got soaked. Had a look round some ground after lunch in the tractor and think it should carry the pipe if contractor can come. Slurry not through the slats yet but not far off it

We’re only over here in Portrush and never saw any rain today

Sowed the cow ground today but its still to sticky for the tanker so went and done a bit of building. Might chance the plough tomorrow

Well that's half the n over silage and grazing. Getting bit damp at the end.
Prob still be a dodging match in 3 weeks trying to get the other half out!

Contractor is here tonight sowing, unbelievable how the big tyres carry. Will be a few marks I'm sure but if it's anything like the slurry it's better not to miss any chances.

Contractor coming tomorrow to spread some hen dung so went field walking this evening, was a whole lot better than I expected, hopefully stay dry overnight.

Turned out thirty heifers today to some dry ground. Lots of grass and determined not to cut any more blocks out for them today at an out yard. Looks wet for second half of week, so I'll soon know how bad a decision it was.

Weather turning again at the end of the week.

must have been some drying done yesterday all the same. Goes to show when grass cover is light it doesn’t take long to dry out this time of year. Even the heavier ground could be dried out inside of a week.

Last Thursday's rain and snow has set our heavy ground back badly
