Silage fertiliser is out and there are lots of outdoor jobs going on, thank God. I was sick of being stuck in sheds foddering cows in March, writes James Mimnagh.
Normally, 25% of ground would be grazed by now on James Mimnagh's suckler and dairy farm in Co Longford, but a sum total of 0% has been grazed due to weather conditions.
I share the narrative that I’ve read and listened to in the past fortnight that these protests were the result of a simmering anger amongst beef farmers, writes James Mimnagh.
Co Longford dairy and suckler farmer James Mimnagh hopes the change in the weather won't last, allowing him to move stock, carry out BDGP and BEEP tasks and graze wild bird covers.
Having milky suckler cows are important and many of these have dairy herd genetics from bygone times, as the lyric goes: "You never know what you got ‘til it’s gone", writes James Mimnagh.
There is nothing more heartwarming than turning out stock and seeing them stretch their legs and jump about, before suddenly realising that they have a banquet of lush green grass at their feet.
