154heifers

Late evening down at Bridge farm, now part of Lyburn Farm. Heifers now finally out to grass much to their relief. Date, 9th April and grass growth very slow, the nights are still cold and as you can see from the setting sun, another frost tonight. Cows are out by day, but are going to be in, nights for some time yet. Cheese production running flat out at the moment, there is bigger cheese vat on the way in a few weeks time, and inevitably we will be shut down for a while, while we instal it.
