They're lookin good Soapweed. The grass looks pretty good to. Hope it rains for you. Some day I would like to come and see the Sandhills in person. Thanks fo the pictures.
 
Nice lookin cattle soapweed.

We had the same luck with the clouds... 10 sprinkles and it shut off.

Take Care
 
We probably do things backwards around here. :roll: :wink:

We brand some first, but most of our cattle go to summer pasture, and then get branded there. This has a lot to do with later calving. Heck, we are still getting a few calves yet. At least I think we are, as there seems to be some newer ones when we drift them south.

Our biggest branding here is next wed.

Branded one bunch of 3's and a few 4's today. Got the 2's and one other bunch done earlier. Every year I don't know how we get it done, with helping other neighbors and all, but it always gets done somehow.

Long days.
 
Really looking good there-Soapweed and crew! The cattle are really doing well :) and for now it looks like some pretty good grass for you. I've been checking pastures and the grass is good for now-some of our pastures got .50-1 in. of rain the past couple of days,but nothing at the house to speak of.But here, no one knows what a true drought is-don't think many would live thru what up North has had for years on end :wink:
 
great pictures soapweed,wish our country looked like that,seems like we get started ok then the spring rains that we depend on to make our hay crops just quits,if memory serves me this makes the 12th year back to back,guess that's what makes it so much fun,anyway glad you have grass.................good luck
