8 inches or centimetres or millimetres?Measurements differ between people. A mans idea of 8 inches is always different to a woman’s idea 8 inches. Hard to please some women.
Depends on growth rates and covers per cow.I cant believe the amount of people taking out paddocks for bales, if we followed a few of the heros around here at it, wed have to graze the cows on the dyke of the road
What is the quality like of the first round grass that you are still grazing? Must be getting strong at this stage?Depends on growth rates and covers per cow.
We took bales out around this time last year and had to feed them when growth crashed to 0 for a week due to lack of rain. Once the rain came, we got growths of 100 for about 10 days and had to take more out again.
Our covers are lower this year and growth still hasn't hit the 30s so we're still grazing the last of the first round. If we get rain this week, we'll probably end up taking bales out a week or so after but the priority is keeping as much high quality grass ahead of cows as possible.
Yeah, this would have been bales if we had got more rain last week. Cover of 1700 and clean outs are poorer than I'd like so we're probably going to have to take bales off this next round or graze at a cover of 11 or 1200.What is the quality like of the first round grass that you are still grazing?

Fresh reseed? It was a real growthy day in fairness. The first in a long timeOnly a few sucklers and sheep here so no measuring and tbh poor enough grassland management but the grass growth today was phenomenal. We took sheep off of this field yesterday evening and it was skint and crispy to walk, this evening I walked across it and I'd say it grew a weeks worth of grass in a day. All the greenery in the pics are from todays growth.
2nd year. It was Sown after beans which would be unusual enough but its still benefiting from it. Growth in the last week has been near zero here between cold and dryness.Fresh reseed? It was a real growthy day in fairness. The first in a long time
You get stem elongation for the 48hrs after the plant has been cut/ eaten. This usually isn't an accurate indication of growth rates.Only a few sucklers and sheep here so no measuring and tbh poor enough grassland management but the grass growth today was phenomenal.

Growth has taken off, at last, here for the past few days.Are ye going with N after the first round of grazing? We aren't badly off for grass for the fattening cattle in Galway but if we don't get growth in the next 2 weeks, things could get tight at the end of the month. Was thinking about going with a bag of can to the acre next week to try to keep things moving.
God help them it must be an awful burden to have bales of good quality silage in the yard.Lads are after giving four months spreading fert trying to make grass grow. They will give the next four mowing bits to stop it growing
I was talking to a dairy man yesterday and he was saying he has lots of grass and even mowing out paddocks. That the grass is growing very well. He then said he was talking to a neighbour of his who says the growth isn’t there yet and that he finding it hard to keep grass in front of the cows. The lad who has the grass kept up his normal fertilser spreading plan while the lad stuck for grass didn’t bother spreading as he said it was too cold for anything to growLads are after giving four months spreading fert trying to make grass grow.
