That sounds like the perfect field to turn the cows into
Funnily enough, we are having a slight change in policy ... going to graze far offs over summer

Then a droughtdesperate to get out, grass everywhere, except the silage pit, could cut some if it dried out, ground not really dry enough yet to stand grazing, even on/off, very nearly there, then it fing rains again, lovely yesterday, drying out, heavy rain last night. But, as I tell my son, you can't beat nature, just got to learn to live with it, and patience. Knowing the sh1t winter we have had, probably get couple of weeks cold east wind, and burn the lot off.
that would put the icing on the cake !!!!! another dry summer, would finish us off, 2 in a row bad enough. But, might be a silver lining in this sh1te weather, if arable boys cannot get their corn in, might be a chance to crop for the summerThen a drought
Then a drought
You keep itThat would be lovely!
What sort of crop?that would put the icing on the cake !!!!! another dry summer, would finish us off, 2 in a row bad enough. But, might be a silver lining in this sh1te weather, if arable boys cannot get their corn in, might be a chance to crop for the summer
doubt they would want maize, peas/barlet, irg westerwold, have to see what the weather doesWhat sort of crop?

Sure I ve seen someone mowing in Nantwich this week
I take it was a close to life or death situation to warrant such a messDefinitely not us. Muck spreading this week to take the pressure off our completely full midden. A bit early to be thinking of silaging

you will wonder why it took you so long to do it.

im not sure I love seeing my cows grazing but from a point of view of man hours and ease then housing them I find is much better. That’s here ofcourse and every farm is different.
@Bald Rick why the change?

Fair comment agreed as well.Because milk from forage is where the profit is! Always has been and always will be.
Milk from flashy tractors and kit on the other hand just looks good for the neighbours.
