John Fagan: Adding tyfon to a reseed is a great way to fatten lambs

It means I have to use very little meal to finish them

A nice dose of Covid topped off the end of my lambing season. I’m probably really run down and it absolutely floored me for about five days.

Farmers are bound to be run down after the long wet miserable winter, but thankfully it’s now over and I can tell you the best thing you can do for your farm right now is look after yourself. Book the flights or whatever you want, but get away for a break.
