Pure sh1te is the only way to describe the weather here now. Dog is looking very miserable outside (don't worry he has plenty of shelter ) but is isisting on sitting out in the rain.

Made some amount of rain from here to Castlebar today, saw a few ewes looking worried on the way, 80% of the field was under water.

Fertiliser spreader hooked up and waiting till afternoon,heavy bastard showers knocking around.2 bags of urea left and 6 tonne of nitro sulphur in yard .def going with urea for now.no word on milk price but I reckon that there will be huge pressure to cut at board meeting later in week on back of last few gdt auctions.at best I'd say hold for April with 2/2.5 cent cut for May or most likely 1 cent cut for both months

Wrong thread for this lads but your correct Kev,there eating humble pie at moment but long term I'd prefer be s Glanbia or dairygold supplier than Arrabawn.were just not big enough,were relatively debt free but cash reserve poor .hats off to lads that left and best of luck to them
Back to weather,turned into a grand day ,sunny and windy which is drying out place nicely.got 2 big bags of urea out,ground tender in places but ok.feels mild as well ,wet gear and body warmer left in parlour and cap on head to stop me getting burnt,some country as to how quick weather changes!!

Hailstorm accompanied by thunder and lightning. Worried for the house as the lightning must've been grounding on Mt.Hutt about 1km up. Seems to have eased off now.
