No big rain days to fill dams but many days of light drizzle and heavy mists have kept the soil moist. Couple that with a very mild May and we are still growing grass and clover. Many, even most, days over the magical 15degC for grass growth. This is setting us up for a good Winter, with less need for supplementary hay feeding, although we have it in the hayshed. Heading into the cold months with about 0.6 head per acre, a bit more than we normally aim for, should be doable this year if the light moisture and warm conditions keep up for the next month or so.
