Some muscle in him, good proportion in size too

I could sell this picture to an ag company promoting some miracle fertilizer as a treated paddock and untreated sort of thing. :pac:

Paddock on left grazed yesterday.
Paddock on right be grazed tomorrow.

No water applied by myself only what fell or didnt fall naturally. No fertilizer applied on this round either.
They got 27 units CAN and 6 units liquid urea applied in the round before that alright with a shot of watery slurry @ 2000 gallons/acre in early June.

Edit : to anyone going out with fert now with the rain coming. Make sure there's p and k in the fert and not just nitrogen.

Noticing a number of cattle with a dry cough these past few days. Putting it down simply to the very dry dusty conditions? They would be well dosed and it's definitely not wormy/fluky weather....

Dribble bar 12 days ago, comparing it to a section that got splashplate which isn't pictured (slurry too thick) I can really see the benefits of it now. Feck all growth on the plated one unlike here.

Well jeal!

Just goes to show how mad our little country is. But only for we got a few heavy showers that field and others wouldn't be looking like that.
If all cattle were allowed to roam like in Africa sure Ireland would tip in at the west/North West right now I reckon! Am sure normal service shall resume soon enough. Am as well take photos to remind me cause by the time it happens again my auld memory might be gone.

Sure the rushes haven't had time to grow back yet!!:D
But a good bit of mulching & licking has helped. Though not on the wetter areas, can show you plenty there!

Last one

Meadow vs pasture. This was drained last year, got the mulcher stuck about halfway up the pasture side last spring too :pac:
