Joys of having a dry farm 🙂 , been cautious and not pulling every paddock out for surplus bales. As its looking like we will get very little rain so i can see a drop in growth coming , decided to pre mowe this paddock instead. Kind of a catch22 situation 🙂 #WestCork🐄🇮🇪

A letter i was hoping not to get 🤦🤦🤦 , joys of been a farmer these days 🙂

Always worth giving them a shot of prostaglandin to bring them into heat, this girl got the shot yesterday morming🙂 #BreedingSeason2025🐄🇮🇪

Unfortunately made a costly mistake the last 3 weeks. Decided to start drawing out the cows before milking, and passed on a sub clinical infection from one of my ladies to 4 other cows. The quote , " if it's not broken don't fix it comes to mind" , lesson learnt 🤦🤦🙂

Thanks to my contractor and my dad , I reseeded and rolled 6 acres this evening at a rate of 15kgs/acre. We got it finished just before the rain came 🌧🌧🙂 #Reseeding2025🇮🇪🐄 Drinagh Agribusiness

Job done , nxt job is to spray the paddock with post emergence spray once the grass is growing and established. #Reseeding2025🇮🇪🐄 #WestCork

Alot of lads in the same boat , trying to get an opening between the showers to cut the silage 🤦🤦 Silage is saved 7 weeks today , won't get much of a change for a wilt , but going to try and get it done before the weekend between the showers. #Silage2025

My apologies for getting a bit heated/angry in my last post, but i have put all of myself both mentally and physically into my farm and it means alot to me. No hate to anyone on here whether i disagree with u ot not, just need a break from twitter 🙂👍
