Cows are still calving fast . We have crossed the 300 mark and now have only 60 left to calve. We now have sufficient replacement heifer calves to grow on and can sell the surplus to other farmers for some welcome extra income.
The drier weather has allowed us to continue fencing some boundaries on the farm which had deteriorated. We are also muck spreading and harrowing fields.
We will soon be putting on extra fertilizer to encourage grass to grow for silage.
This will be harvested at the end of May or Early June to provide food for next winter.
