    I was on holiday in the Midlands for 10 days, didn't get back till yesterday afternoon. Was expecting to see the couple of fields of silage sill growing. It rained every day while away, some savage downpours at times.

    Silage was in. It was dry from Friday afternoon to midday today. My dad mowed on Sunday and baled Monday afternoon. Baler man rang my dad on Monday midday to ask if he should bother coming the 5 miles to bale as it was torrential at his place. Bone dry in my place.

    Better to be born lucky....

    That's only true for salt.
    For 12 cattle they should be eating 2.5kg a day

    Lovely day here today, corn being cut flat out and straw turned and baled. Looks to be a great crop of straw in the fields I saw this evening.

    It's turning colder in the evenings now and it's very overcast this evening.
