Hope the last of the summer wine has enough sugar to ferment.

@bryanjdaniels Was that with your guttler?

[Clive Buttimer @ClonakiltyBeef]

Two things are back! Clover has made a late summer burst and our delicious grass finished beef is now available again. PM me to preorder a box, quarter or half. Collection early September.

Please God let this come to pass, the relief it would bring to farmers to have respite from the rain, to get stock out to grass and crops sown.

[Carlow Weather @CarlowWeather]

The longer range trend charts show a change to more normal or even below normal rainfall as we progress through the next 10 days with South more likely to see lower rainfall levels. 🤞

[Clive Buttimer @ClonakiltyBeef]

@tierney1981_t Lovely when it's not raining.

[Clive Buttimer @ClonakiltyBeef]

It's great to have a taste of spring for a few days after a very wet last six months. Pity it's back to the rain next week.

@Friesian_man @TirlanFarmLife Great stuff Bruce, any link being seen between the amount of dosing and summer scour syndrome, just wondering if it is affecting the calf gut microbiome?

[Clive Buttimer @ClonakiltyBeef]

This time of year the chicory in our mixed species grazing naturally wants to flower especially if it has a longer rest period between grazings. #clonakiltybeef #clonakilty #westcork #westcorkfood #irishfood

Harvest time, in between the showers. It hasnt been easy but we are getting there now. Grain and straw for winter feed, its always a great feeling to see it in the shed. Quality feed for quality beef 👌 #clonakiltybeef #westcork # harvesttime

Question of the week.... What are you growing beside the lane?
A: Wheat and Pead

Loving the sunshine, fixing N, reducing inputs, producing a better balanced feed for #clonakiltybeef. That's the theory.... Time will tell. #westcork #irishfood #clonakilty

We have full and half sides available to order now, for collection in 3 weeks.

Convenience - fantastic beef on hand in your freezer.

Choice - decide exactly what you want and how you want it butchered.

Difference -flavour, quality, sustainability.

@AThinkingWoman Hi, I have taken risks with my time energy and money to change my farm to be more sustainable, in this case the government is supporting me. People respond to support, a lot of farming is low margin so reducing the financial risk is important to many. Farmers are not homogenous.

[Clive Buttimer @ClonakiltyBeef]

Today's job, fencing off grassland strips beside a stream and a small river on the farm, these will be let grow during the summer and will provide a high value habitat for wildlife and act as a very effective buffer to filter surface water. #westcork #clonakilty #irishfood
