Dermot's planning ahead to make best use of nutrient applications

I can graze my whole farm, which meant I grazed my silage ground back in the spring, writes Dermot Walsh

Things are going well at the moment. Silage is cut. We are in week five of breeding. There are a few repeats, but there is nothing too concerning. 

One cow has not gone through bulling yet, she has been treated twice by a vet, so I have made the decision to get rid of this cow. We had to feed silage for a week.
