Early May bank Holiday weekend: The last couple of months have been rather dry so I wont complain too much that Sunday afternoon was a bit of a washout. On the lower pastures everything is green and crops are growing but 600ft up in the hills our grass has been slow to start.
To understand the grass and soil condition we have ordered a soil sample kit to test for the pH and levels of Phosphate, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, Sulphur, Sodium, Manganese, Copper, Iron, Zinc, Molybdenum and Boron. The results will allow us to fertilise and supplement the soil appropriately and provide a better start for the grazing next year. Always making sure we include the likes of these guys in our plan...

Grassland management is something Woody and I want to get right so we will be taking advice, attending courses and making sure we get hold of...or buy the right kit...so far we have been doing everything by hand but now the growing season is upon us we may start to loose control.
