We hope you've all been enjoying the sunshine as much as we have here at JGHQ! The animals have loved the sun and fresh grass that has been rocketing during the past few weeks - June, you've won us over so far!
The sheep have been sheared ready for more balmy days out in the fields;
Not that we want to think about winter too much right now!
The grass is cut and gathered before it dries (unlike hay) and stored under plastic sheeting to stop it from drying out and to allow it to ferment. After fermentation, the silage has a sweet taste and smell, which the cows love!
We're also about to put the piglets and their mummy out into the paddock so watch out for that update....!
