@Sligorobotman @JerryMoloney1 Not yet, timing after the first test wouldn't allow it with Christmas and couldn't do it in January/February from a welfare/workload point of view especially with a lot of cows on the point of calving

@CallansCows @JerryMoloney1 I presume they were blood tested

Not a great day at the office #tb #sickening

@Sligorobotman @JerryMoloney1 Not yet, have 103 gone so far. One herd was clear in the last test after having 46 the test before. Second herd has 22 and 27 gone so far and testing again in 2-3 weeks. Hopefully it goes clear this time

@CallansCows @JerryMoloney1 Have you got on the right side of it yet.

@Sligorobotman @JerryMoloney1 20 years clear here up until last November no stock bought in bar a few stock bulls, Clearly the system is not working. Hopefully you get the right side of it quickly 🤞

@JerryMoloney1 Got that letter too.40 years free from tb ..... rarely buy in.....badgers taken away for testing.....hard to see 45 litre cows going off in a lorry for a crime they didn't commit

Another year another round of disinfectant, last few jobs before the mayhem ensues!

@ArableSam None this year. Have rye and triticale in after winter wheat this year. All Maize ground went to WW except one block that's up for some drainage work in the spring

@CallansCows Any rye after maze this year ?

Opening the cows Christmas present a couple days early 🌽🌽

@sprinkles785 @DLF_IRL @EdwardKehoe7 Sown a little too deep at the start. Grass was under the most pressure, definitely didn't affect the herbs or clovers 😳

@CallansCows @DLF_IRL @EdwardKehoe7 Proper mss 💪🏻

After a slow start for the MSS it's bombing it now and cattle look like they're doing very well on it. Mix of Spring 24 born and Sep 24 born stock grazing it. 100kgN/ha spread to date. Weather will dictate if it gets anymore before closing. @DLF_IRL

Multi Species looking good now, but of spot spraying needed to tidy up a few areas but overall doing very well. Grass is the slowest to come, dry spell definitely affected it the most.

@AlanBurton12 @Sligorobotman @JerryMoloney1 @MonaghanFergal Be careful using it. I've used it a few times to cross check what I've done up and done of it's figures don't make sense when you actually go through it. Maybe the premium version is better but I'd definitely check and double check it's figures before following it.

@Sligorobotman @JerryMoloney1 @MonaghanFergal Did it actually give you a proper answer for it?

Anyone know of an app or elsewhere where I could put together a simple 3/4 way mix and it’ll give % protein ,fibre me etc …ta in advance 👍

@JoeMetcalfe2 Came in at 11 Me, 8.5 CP, 47 NDF, 22-23 starch last year(68D Value, 72.5DMD). Year before was similar but slightly higher protein because it was sown with Vetch

Forage rye and 1st half of 1st cut in and covered 👌 finished at approx. 13T/acre yield from the Rye. 7-8TDM/ha. Not bad from 26 units of Urea + slurry 🫣

@keenan17 Ranging from 2200-5000. Cutting a good few paddocks between 2200-3200. 1st cuts all 4.5-5. other half still around 3000 and being left for another 10-14 days

@CallansCows What sort of covers is on them Sean?

First half of 1st cut knocked yesterday along with the crop of forage rye. Few powerful days to get a good crop in the pit. Keeping all this 1st cut to one side for Autumn cows.

@visatorro I strapped 2 outboards into the back 🤣

@CallansCows Four wheel drive on i hope

I hope our multi species knows how to snorkel 🙈 or hold it's breath at least 😬

@AWStweet @kmcsween We had 70/80% pulled one year and AI'd a few the day before and the rest on the planned day. Conception rates were 80/90% of our usual. Had 13 missing this year and just served as normal

The latest technology in CIDR retention available on the market 😂 let's hope they spend their time looking up at these strings and nothing else 🤞🫣

@NathanMcClure16 Just the first summer out. Would normally put them out for the second summer and either sell for store or finish, plenty of good feed in the yard this year, with beef the way it is we decided to hold them in. Frees up grazing ground for other stock.

@CallansCows Did they just spend their first summer at grass did you have you had them out since?

This shed back serving it's original purpose once more, no more calving for the spring. Been a few years since it housed animals for finishing. Autumn 23 Born stock in for finishing, hopefully out the gate in May 🤞
