This dry spell is welcome and all that but it's too little too late after the washout of a "summer" we've had.

Agree. Great to get the last 3 weeks weather. But God how I could have done with it in July.

Grass is responding well after the slurry spread last week. Hopefully with a bit more sunshine and temps staying middling the cattle will get a nip before moving to more cover beside the yard for Winter.

Beautiful down here, blue skies and not a cloud in the sky.

Bit nippy out this morning though.

Mooooo

Dry but days are cold since Fri, the overalls are back on again. Baby calves flying it outside tho. Must reteat another milk bar the young ones are eating me alive feeding one by one. Threw a couple of big bales at an angle to each other for extra shelter if they need it

Chilly, 6*C, no wind,

Raining when bringing in cows earlier, no sign of any of the 5 wooly hats I bought over the last few days. I think I will have to carry out a raid on oh's lorry :mad:

Costa del arklow. As they say in the weather forum.

Ground grazed tight and perfect conditions for slurry. I'm sure it'll be the same the end of Jan. ....

I had a great conversation with a lad yesterday that catches hares for coursing. Fascinating rules governing the whole thing and ensuring the safety of the hares.

They used to catch hares in our place in our place for coursing before...

I thought they'd happily enough clean you outa hares and not care too much. That's what seemed to happen to us anyways...

I think there is apparently something about if the hare makes it, that they're returned back to where they came from? Didn't happen for us anyways (but I could be wrong saying this, not 100% on it)

They took 6 hares from here and they returned 6 tagged hares. A hare can only be coursed once a year so each coursing club uses a different colour tag so it won't be coursed again the same year.

There's a nice few bob in catching a hare so you will get a few lads lamping late at night in another clubs area to catch their hares.

They are some sight close up and the speed of them as they take off again is fantastic. There is little enough cover for them here anymore so I enjoy watching them while I can.

Seen em catch a good few hares over the years - never seen a tagged hare... which would suggest they weren't returning em, which is what I thought anyways...

And we have very few (if any) hares left now... which is a pity, as I used to like seeing em too...

I think coursing a hare is a shocking way to treat a unique part of our Irish faunal heritage.
