Growth is very bad at the moment.the dry weather and this hard beeeze is killing it.its hard goin at the moment to try and have grass in front of animals.any left over bales from last year is a welcome guest now.hopefully things will change soon.
Hi lad that was a great video of your fresion heifers and great job on the land to them is great fresion heifers and good AAX or limousines bull to your working very hard on the land 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It's a real feast or famine year. I made a few bales because paddocks were gone too strong. 2 weeks later I was feeding them. Pure disaster of a grass year. Second cut for bales is very slow growing
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from farming it is that things can always get worse, it’s 12 months of poor weather and grass growth, the rest of the year could be rubbish, who knows. Lots of farmers are well sick of farming now.
@@paulfinnan1984 I said climate change I didn’t say anything about warming 😂😂😂. You’re right it’s colder it’s getting. I remember as a child spending all summer with my parents making hay with a mf35 snd a buck rake and a pitch fork. Now we can’t get a few days to get a chance at hay.
Always enjoy your videos. Your honesty and saying it as it is. Keep up the good work lad
Thank you very much for your kind comments lad. I’ll keep doing the videos as long as they are wanted and I have content for them.

Things would want to change soon. Because after two bad years how much more can farmers take

Ya it's shocking year for weather and for grass growth all we farmer's stay strong 💪
Stay strong surely. Nature will always look after itself eventually. Nobody will starve.
Great video Alan well explained growth awful poor hopefully your hair doesn't take as long to grow back or you'll be cold for the winter😂
😂😂😂 if the hair is as slow as the grass I may sell my comb!! That’s a Cavan man’s hair cut 😂😂
Grass grows when the soil temp is above 60 degrees and the sun, both makes Grass grow.
60 degrees? You hardly ever have soil that warm in this country
