I'm not measuring the rainfall here.
Well I suppose I am in my own way. There's a bit of a grass hollow behind a shed and if it's empty the cows go out and if there's water in it they stay in.
They only go out for about 3 hours most days anyway so any damage is minimal.
I'm not really following the weather forecast as much anymore but using my water in the grass hollow guide.
Whatever comes I'll manage but thanks for the heads up.

I can safely say on this forum "I hope we don't get cold weather and snow from this SW."

Land is in muck here, however lambing isn't starting for three weeks so hopefully things will change as there was a lot of activity first week of mating.
Wouldn't be a hope of letting anything out at the moment, grass and corn is even looking stressed around here.

Did you keep on a smaller flock, Wrangler?

Does anyone ever remember such a long bad run of crap weather?

I don't anyway. The only consolation is at least it's during winter rather than during summer.

A neighbour was saying we have only had 8 dry days here since the end of September. There's a good few lads caught last week spreading with a raingun a few miles from here.

I had the contractor in today pumping into the tower and he says he is only doing 2 or 3 hours in a place on whatever dry fields the farmer has and going onto the next lad for a few hours again. It must be a right pain to roll out and up the umbilical for longer than you're spreading.

Yea , have eighty for the moment, 30, 5 and 6 year olds, 30 that weren't just good enough fr the sale and around 20 ewe lambs. I've room for 300 ewes so will be able to keep them in after lambing if this weather continues.
There's a shed on an outfarm rented to a neighbour with 200 ewes as well, nearly everything is sold, leased or given away at this stage.....:D

I says

1c cold a bit of snow fell last night only enough to cover the windscreen on the car.

They're getting a fair treat this year ....

No snow here in Wexford.
There was a brief snow shower about 9am.

Cows are out grazing again today and ground conditions are improving in a drying wind and blazing sunshine.
