September has come to an end and the nights are once again drawing in, winter is just around the corner !
This time of year is always difficult for dairy farmers, the grass growth is slowing down and there isn't as much goodness in the grass for Daisy to turn into milk. We are reluctant to start using our winter feed to early as spring is a long long way off. But this September has been a fantastic month for crops to grow, it has stayed warm and with some nice rain the grass has just kept growing. The scene below looks more like May or June as Daisy and her pals tuck into some lovely lush grass, not nearly the end of September ! The warm weather has also kept Daisy Made busy so the cows can't relax just yet ;) TTFN Farmer Dave ps, Daisy Made will have a limited number of home grown pumpkins on sale for Halloween this year so don't miss out .
