Macamore land here too. Buy in a shot of store lambs for the back end and get them gone by February. Works best on the silage ground as it won’t be grazed by the cows before cutting
Great video keep them coming Full of Information and very well explained same on our farm down in kerry ground is too wet to be building up farm covers luckily we graze small bunch of yearlings on the grazing block later into year to graze out any high covers leaves grass in good shape for spring
Also means I'm not putting slurry out on to heavy covers of grass in January, which is big plus for grass growth and quality special when cows don't t get out till march 17 that's on a good year
Good man Rob. We have the exact same management here and here's me thinking there is no heavy land in the east😮. Very same thinking around targets. U were fair brave inthe spring looking at the graze outs. Did they recover?
Plenty of bad ground over here when you know where to look Danny 😂. We have worked hard on that plan over the last 4 years with Andre Van Barneveld. Wanted to make that video because when we started dairy farming there was no wet farm grass advice that we could go off of other than teagasc, if I could have seen a video like that back then it would have helped me a lot. We had no choice but be brave that time Danny all those clips were taken in May 😮💨 but over all grass recovered better than we could have expected. This year has turned out to be a better grass year here than last year
You are compromised by lack of deep roots under baby grass overhead. What figure would you put on a field of full mature meadow.surely immature grass cannot be best nutrition and natural medications as food is best eaten ripe in season. Very interested to know what the full constituents of three leaf grass milk is compared to meadow milk including minerals and trace elements. To me modern pharming is a multiaspected disaster. Teasgasc, with NO remit from gov has a lot to answer for having rolled out a peer pressure of always getting more production. An acre os same size for every generation
