Any of you R-calf members that are in a drought, your jinxed by the curse put on you by the ancient evil spirits for what you have caused the canadian cattle man! As for the rest of you American ranchers I feel sorry for you!

May the curse of the R-calf Drought continue for many years to come!

It rained over an inch here last night with lots of wet snow also!! Ground is going to be saturated! Laughing

You must be living right. All we got was a bunch of snow and wind that polished the ice so much I almost couldn't get out of the yard this morning. Maybe I should sell a couple of cows and buy some new tires. Laughing I heard that out by Brandon its real nice today. One of our guys is digging a foundation out there by Shilo. The frost is down 6 1/2 feet.

The problem is that our footings are only supposed to go down 5 feet so we've got to draw a foot and a half of frost before we can start our concrete.

It's sandy soil. I'm surprised they haven't hit water. Its right over an aquifer.
