Managing the first graze...how? 

A milder more settled spell needed so field work can begin

This 26-day-old Belgian Blue calf sold recently at Bandon Mart for €405. File Picture.  

After the recent snow and cold, we could badly do with a milder, more settled spell so that field work can start.

There is plenty of slurry to go out, with tanks close to full, and very little nitrogen is out. Most will also have a bit of fencing yet to do, as it was not possible to travel fields to drive posts.
