Paula Hynes: Hair cuts and grass cuts on the farm

Once the rain does arrive, there should be a good surge in grass growth as soil temperatures are high, but while we long for some rainy days, hopefully there will be some fine weather ahead still for the summer

While our heifers have been taking a brief break from showing, Becky was back on the circuit last weekend as she was drafted in by Daniel and Eimer Curtin of Euro Holsteins in Listowel to prepare 10 animals for Kingdom County Fair. 

With the Curtins having such a big team going to Kerry's biggest agricultural show, Becky spent two days clipping the three cows and seven heifers, including an early start on the Sunday morning to make final preparations before the truck transported the team to the show.
