A little bit of of mixed emotions tonight, went to visit a friend this evening who is in his final days at home, we had a great chat and shared memories and jokes. Said my goodbyes and told him I'd see him on the other side, there'll be whiskey galore 🥃🥃.

Lawn clippings are dynamite to any grazing animals, let them be equine, bovine or ovine. Apart for huge risk of colic also disease risks to pregnant animals from fecal droppings of cats, dogs or foxes scooped up by lawnmowers . Lawn clippings aren't just grass they're dangerous.

Have heard a lot of people both in the print media and Sm moan about beef cattle coming from the dairy herd as if it was something new. Well these are from dairy herds, any problems!

This bridge and gateway was completely overgrown and blocked, can be put to use now. I finally got the gate rehung and put a coat of black primer on, looks a bit better than when it came off I suppose. One pier is leaning off a bit so a chain will secure.

Rowing up the hay, these 2 paddocks were grazed tight in the spring, got no fertiliser, got too strong for grazing. Heaviest crop of hay in my lifetime, I reckon 15-16 4x4 bales per acre maybe more, we'll see later.

Can anyone explain to me how this is supposed to be good for the environment? We planted miscanthus in 2008 and like many others it was to supply Edenderry power. We managed to get away a poor crop for 2 years, couldn't tip it, had to be moving floor trailers. 1/2
