Spring calvers onto our 20meter AECS grass margins for a bit of a tidy up. 1st year so not risking differed winter grazing on them.
PD'd today for 1st April calving. 90% 6-10weeks incalf, 10% to recheck in month or so as bulls were still running until late August.

Autumn calvers heading closer to home on a bright #Mondaymorning, will take more than one bright day to be back to harvest though😵

Finally into some spring barley after some frustrating weather. Not a pretty sample, except the Ladybirds (of which there are plenty!) - maybe they're putting the moisture up too. #harvest23 will be one to forget.

The Strathspey management group visited Malcolm's hill ground to discuss land use options.
🌲Forestry?
🌱Environmental grants?
🐮Cattle grazing?
❌Or leave alone?
It prompted Malcolm to invite NatureScot and Scottish Forestry to visit to give their perspectives and suggestions.
