Last week has been the best for growth so far this year around here. Nice sunny damp days a bit cool at night but really good growth out.

i have only cows and calves outside on 4 acre paddock getting silage, the other 50 cattle are still in slats, with plenty of silage left should i leave them where they are. feck all grass yet as sheep and lambs are taking any new growth. is it very late to still have cattle in, i might try and leave it til mid next week and see if weather gets milder. very little growth here (south-west Meath

First shower of the day in my part of East Wicklow,it's barely wet the ground

Username John

Yesterday and today have been showery here in Cork - which is ok.

But the nights are very cold still, we have had a nice frost both last night and night before - which is doing nothing to help my grass grow...

Awful here and MT's forecast wouldn't inspire you for the next week. Grass is scarce too, plenty of scour this morning aswell in the younger calves.

Charmed life down here in SE Wicklow,mostly sunny with one or two fast passing showers so far

To answer the question a few posts up,I can remember a few inches of snow at sea level in East Wicklow when I was a chap
The cows were out and we were sent to round them up and in when it showed no signs of stopping
Yes in May

Today it's been up to 13c , here anyway when the suns been out,so it could be an awful lot worse
