What's the breeding in that one? Great trees in the background - must give good shelter for them.

Better looking at it than for it this weather, things starting to come under pressureI think the grass in the bog may have gotten a bit ahead of me??

Eamon and Pippa would love your attempt at rewilding...I think the grass in the bog may have gotten a bit ahead of me??

That bog was considered too bad for the drainage grants back in the day, but my father went at it anyway. It is good summer grass field, but my stock farming and grass management are very much an after thought, really just a hobby these days. Back when I had wolly lice and help that was a very productive grass field, but years of only partial management and it being left on the long finger have it the way it is, I was going to drain it over the winter and reseed it, but I missed the boat and it got too wet, hopefully I'll get it done this winter.Eamon and Pippa would love your attempt at rewilding...
I often get worried that the Hippy Dippy Eco Warrior that I grow the wild flowers for will bring Pippa Hackett in to look at the wild flowers growing. If you hear on the news about a Carlow farmer being arrested for accosting a Junior Minister, I will probably be in jail.Eamon and Pippa would love your attempt at rewilding...
Lovely shape to him - lots of milk is standing to him.Brown calf is 87% hereford, nice bit of shape to him, not really done justice in the photo. Stock look well and very content in this weather.
Zero growth here now though, plough through heavy covers for now and keep the fingers crossed 🤞
Its incredible the difference around the country, you'd break your ankle on ground here now. We have a good bit of ground by the Barrow that was holding water late but all that is dried out now. Working away at hay and silage so no complaints but absolutely every stock farmer you speak to in our area is genuinely nervous about feed nowLovely shape to him - lots of milk is standing to him.
Growth is booming here. Ground has only properly dried out in the last few days. This day last week I left tracks in pasture with the slurry tanker.
Cattle always seen to do well on poor grazing so long as they have the sun on their backs as well, often better than good grazing with shite weather.Brown calf is 87% hereford, nice bit of shape to him, not really done justice in the photo. Stock look well and very content in this weather.

Ai bred I presume.
Yes. A mixture of everything. Charolais, two blues (one of the bulls was a red gene carrier) simmental and a saler heifer calf off a simmental heifer.Ai bred I presume.
