You cow looks like she is being sent down from heaven.

If I remember right one of those cows was Jenny. Definitely not an angelic cow! Our land dips between two hills there so it's very foggy.
PITA counting them when they're there though, got my walk in for the day.

I didn't put it there. I take the wraps off before giving out bales. I blame oh.

I was cutting silage for a man here today and part of his field had lots of brown in the leaf of the grass. What would that be?

Eldest lad went back to college today after 5 months off. One off my dry cows decided to calve way far away and the calf went down into a deep double ditch. My 75 year old dad went down and tied a rope on the calf and I pulled it up. A Belgian blue heifer. All is good.

This reminds me of a story that happened locally.
Cousin had a few cows and calfs on mountain land and one of the calfs went missing. Big search on for this calf and no sign or call from it. Part of the land has a big drop down into a valley with a river running through it. Near 30 foot sheer drop. Concluded that the calf fell and was dead or stolen.
About two years later when all was forgotten about, a neighbouring farming was searching for a cow he had lost. Same river flowed through his land but had easier access to it. He followed the river up about a mile. Got to a spot that was near impassable and with no sign of cow tracks he was about to turn back when he heard a moo further up the river. Couldn't understand how his cow would have got up further but taught it must be his. Had to climb up rock that would be a waterfall when the river was in full flow and there was the cow! But not his cow. Turns out it was the calf the cousin lost two years before had. Living down in the valley all that time.

Not sure if there was an attempt made to rescue it.

Probably lack of N, I'd say. Saw similar on a walk today where a bit of ground hadn't been spread.

Was that field spread with lime this year?
Could be calcium overload.

No lime. Got about 3k/gal slurry at the end of June after 1st cut. Hadn't been touched since. Was no artificial fert. spread on it since spring either

Go with Buford then.
Add on age of grass as well.

It could be rust or ryncho, same diseases that would be on corn.

If that's a regular programme it could be low K as well as the N mentioned.

UK slaughtered, unusual to see it coming this way

I had problems with my 2010 1.6 litre diesel car, the engine management light would come on every 6 to 8 weeks and the pr1ck of a yoke would go into limp mode.
The dpf filter and its sensor was the problem but nothing could be done to fix it. So we cut the filter out, put in a straight trought pipe, reprogrammed the engine management and she's been going like a bullet since

Thought yellow was lack of N. Heard lack of boron is an issue this year

About 18 years ago I was actively approached by an agnostic group wanting to buy my place in NCD so that they could use it to plant native trees and then bury people under them. From memory 12 to 14 could be buried around a single tree without going deeper to cater for other family members.

Similar here, all religions and none, used to be an estate/farm.
managed to look like a woodland.

How’s that for ye :):):)

Wife had the same with her diesel x-trail.
Looking at a bill well over 1200 euro with Nissan, local lad cut the end off the DPF, emptied all the packing out and welded the end back on very neatly indeed.
Read the engine management chip, emailed it to some guy in Russia or Poland who deleted the DPF software code and emailed it back.
Perfect job, €350.

I could think of a few that still would:D

Volvo S40. The lads in my local garage (all Polish and Lithuanian lads) say that are cut these dpf filters fairly regularly, once every 2 weeks.
