After the warmest September on record, we may have just had the wettest October on record.

Just over 6½ inch of rain has fallen so far in October and it has made the last few weeks of grazing quite muddy. The cows will be in the shed at night from next week and then back out in the day until mid November.

That’s enough about the weather, last week Matt and Jasmin went to learn about how best we can aerate our soils. With the take home message being ‘diversity is key’. So hopefully our winter mixed crops for the calves this year will do just the job.
