Joys of having a dry farm ๐Ÿ™‚ , 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 ๐Ÿ™‚ #WestCork๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช

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 ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿ™‚
