Just hope the mink don't take the smiles off their faces as they did with ours . Crying or Very sad

The word around here is that very few people have got any apples this year .
Wild blackberries were looking good a couple of days ago but need a bit of sun before they will be worth picking . I wish !!

The Jersey has had to go inside already,the animals are destroying more grass than they are eating,its going to be a long winter.
Seriously thinking of getting rid of the bigger animals.

Thats a bummer Phil. If some of the predictions are right we are in for two more years of wet summers. This was based on past records so is a bit subjective. Was there much hay made in your area in June?. There should be some decent stuff about. Its all haylige over here. Good luck.

Its mostly silage up this way and looking at the bales in the fields around here its been a good enough year.There's a lot of cattle inside already so bales are going to get scarce.I don't fancy the idea of feeding them inside for up to six month, it may well be more depending on next years weather.
