Growth is very bad at the moment.the dry weather and this hard beeeze is killing it.its hard goin at the moment to try and have grass in front of animals.any left over bales from last year is a welcome guest now.hopefully things will change soon.

[@dronedairys7461]

Things would want to change soon. Because after two bad years how much more can farmers take

[@Hillfarmlamb]

Great video Alan well explained growth awful poor hopefully your hair doesn't take as long to grow back or you'll be cold for the winter😂

[@dronedairys7461]

Stay strong surely. Nature will always look after itself eventually. Nobody will starve.

Good stuff

[@gerrymulligan2602]

Good man himself hope all good happy farming

[@dronedairys7461]

All good. Thank you.

[@gerryryan2142]

It's a real feast or famine year. I made a few bales because paddocks were gone too strong. 2 weeks later I was feeding them. Pure disaster of a grass year. Second cut for bales is very slow growing

[@dronedairys7461]

Yea I think I’ll be dipping in to my paddock bales too. Very tough times. It will improve.

[@gerryryan2142]

@dronedairys7461 hard to build a silage surplus this year. There's a great shine off your heifers. Look well

[@Sean-fb7cy]

Interesting video

[@DonalHarte]

Good video a lot covered

[@dronedairys7461]

Thanks. I try to vary it. Can be hard at times

[@theoracle8560]

If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from farming it is that things can always get worse, it’s 12 months of poor weather and grass growth, the rest of the year could be rubbish, who knows. Lots of farmers are well sick of farming now.

[@dronedairys7461]

Sick of it surely buts it the nature of the farmer to fight on and not let it beat ya. Thanks for your support and comments

[@thomasfinnegan2854]

Nice Angus bull

[@dronedairys7461]

Thank you. Bought him 5 years ago, considering changing him for next year

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Grass grows when the soil temp is above 60 degrees and the sun, both makes Grass grow.

[@dronedairys7461]

60 degrees? You hardly ever have soil that warm in this country

[@gerrymulligan2602]

Stay positive

Terrible year ( 2 years actually ) First too wet,then too cold,now too windy and dry ! 🙄 Cant win

[@dronedairys7461]

Yes climate change must be showing the effects.

[@paulfinnan1984]

Globel warming ?? Is the weather not ment to be getting warmer ???

[@dronedairys7461]

@@paulfinnan1984 I said climate change I didn’t say anything about warming 😂😂😂. You’re right it’s colder it’s getting. I remember as a child spending all summer with my parents making hay with a mf35 snd a buck rake and a pitch fork. Now we can’t get a few days to get a chance at hay.
