Signpost: TB testing didn't bring the news we wanted, but we'll manage

The last two paddocks to be closed will be the multi-species paddocks, writes Mitchelstown dairy farmer Sean Moher.

All stock are still out, and we have no plans to house anything soon, writes Sean.

Conditions are fairly good here as we are coming close to the end of the grazing season. All stock are still out, and we have no plans to house anything soon. 

We like to have over 85% of the platform closed for the first of November as we find it hard to grow any more than 200kg of grass over the winter months. This has always been the case even before we started reducing fertiliser and using clover in the paddocks.
