Where's spring?

[hoff135]

Only 7 weeks to the longest day.

What happened to spring?

Old guys up here used to say there was no real growth around here till then, well they've been none so far this year, things are going to be late, silage, hay, shearing if it does come some real heat, not just in South East. Everywhere.

I remember in 1989 a neighbour who has lived here over 80 years asked my if I had plenty silage , I said yes , good long time till the end of may ! I thought he was joking but I bet I have fed till end of may more times than I have not since .

Absolutely no cattle out around here, few dairy boys silage fields thats had nothing on them all winter, just good grass, won't be cutting in a months time this year.

Shag all grass growth here. Father was very keen to kick cattle out for Easter weekend, a month ago. I was a little concerned that there didnt look much grass ahead of them then. Full rotation and there has hardly been any regrowth.

The cold weather started in august last yr, sept was like october and october was like december
Thats heading for ten months of crap

 

[CPF]

We are having April showers now.

 

[Greythundercloudys]

The weather is totally f*cked now, no one will be shouting for rain, wishing it would stop, may is normally dry, but rained every day around here. Still needing heat as well.

 

[Hilly]

It’s a bloody shame , the weather has made this spring hard work and miserable.

 

[glasshouse]

Sold a full load of silage today, and a load of hay
Its not all bad!!

 

[Greythundercloudys]

Glasshouse, you may wish you had it next winter, silage is going to be light, even with the rain as still not much heat, it got alot of catching up to do.
