Ahh February 14th..I very nearly forgot
Its day you must have 15% of the farm grazed
Lucky for me, I'm bang on target

It's been a while since my last update but I want to make sure you all know I'm still here, putting down concrete and putting up my carbon footprint #grassToGas

Busy spraying docks here today on some of our high performing PPI swards. Using stuff called Rosate 360 i found down the back of the shed. Anyone else getting good results with this on docks? Before and after pics to follow... 👀

@nbclancy That tub of fallen stock is filling up quick- where are you going to dig the hole? 😀

Silage test results in.
Didn't bother reading them but my advisor says they're the best silage results he's seen in his life. Can't argue with that

[Expansion Eamon @ExpansionEamon]

@johnmpringle1 Is it big enough though? 😀

[Expansion Eamon @ExpansionEamon]

Feed rep tells me all these extra bales I have is like money in the bank. But yet he wouldn't take a few loads of bales against the bill 🙄

Jumping on the multi-species sward bandwagon this yr. Our latest reseeded block contains a 3 way mix of broad leaved docks (deep root for soil structure), chickweed (diversity), and a shake of PRG (palatibility)
Sprayed it for the clover which was starting to compete #easyPeasy

@johnphelan81 Well now you said it- according to my back of the hilux calculation I'd have it all paid for in 3 years at a stocking rate of 4 yanks/ room with no breakfast #lowcost

Taking tips for my appointment with the bank manager later today #backedbyaib

Oh my god

@johnphelan81 Who knows, myself and the big man could yet be share milking in Doonbeg..I'll supply the heifers and he can supply the Mexicans

[Expansion Eamon @ExpansionEamon]

@stuck_Seamie @TheFarmerT Ah jaysus I'd be afraid for your safety up on that yoke now.. she wont stop like your Massey does when you hit them cavity walls around the pit

Stuck in a caravan in the west of Ireland with the kids fighting and the rain beating off the roof. And 2ic ringing every 10 mins wondering where the sledge hammer is but won't say what he wants it for.

@johnphelan81 @TheFarmerT 🤣🤣He'll be getting a belt of it when I get home

Absolutely shocked to discover the young lad is after adding a diet feeder to his carpet farming operation. And the big plastic holsteins wont even fit in the parlour. Is this the early signs of a learning disability? Will he ever make a farmer? Can anything be done for him? TIA

@stuck_Seamie @billokeeffe @desquinlivan Ideal for your marginal land Seamie. You could nearly class the cows as wildlife too hey 😉
