Guys in Scotland will have cattle in for a few weeks yet, still cold, not much growth . Only one good warm day, needing a week's warm weather to get things going in central scotland.. things still 3 weeks behind normal. I think guy who cut first cut in first week in June will be nearer highland show time, if they want anything to cut unless the next 3 weeks there is a heatwave .

We've most of our cows out and we're in NE Scotland. Got straw leftover.

Mr thunder clouds must be in a bleak area of Scotland if he's only had one warm day.

Are there any happy people in West of Scotland? Always seem to be moaning about wet ground, lack of grass, price of bought in feed, price of straw.

Why do people bother farming there?

Yes, l am in a break area of Scotland, most years no one has cows out till May, so this year is worse than ever. Cold weather the last few week ,all Barr the odd day, amazing the difference in areas of the country.

I have came to the conclusion that we are either optimists or masochists.

And when you analyse it ,probably a bit of both!
