@mason_niall There would be a small bit of waste alright. about a barrow full either side every time I strip it back. Plenty of hands on deck is the key when covering, leaves it handy enough done

High & dry
Weather played ball 👌

[Patrick Lynch @movingtomilk]

@kieran_kigr A lot of showers knocking around these parts but if u went by the forecast you’d get nothing done.. Few places not too far away got washed out of it. We got lucky!

[Patrick Lynch @movingtomilk]

@johnphelan81 Plenty of passing showers around here but they very hit and miss

The one we’ve been waiting on..
Calving 25 over and out!

@jhealyq Think I’m a couple weeks behind you with start of calving. Nothing calved here in January.
It’s the best I’ve seen cows milking in my short dairy farming career anyway 😀

[Patrick Lynch @movingtomilk]

@jhealyq Will be interesting to see where they peak
