Sounded very appropriate, over here, in Nebraska. I resemble the remarks myself, thanks H.

Our cool down was dry also, but it sure makes shop work more comfortable. Some neighbors happy, some grumpy, we're kinda used to it.

Yep, what H said. Been paying attention would be my guess, fine looking young lady. Nice market lamb to boot. You win showmanship, you are in the driver's seat. Congrats

We haven't had big hail, just the shotgun smaller stuff. Very little wheat or sugar beets left, corn is knocked way back. Some grass hailed flat and turning white just like the wheat, lots of late beans getting planted, the surrounding areas the grass looks good. Grass hay will be a decent...

I don't want to wade into an argument, but as to the original question, my answer is, on the box plan. As in when they close the lid on mine, meanwhile I think I've been retired for a long time.

Same rain leaked into the Nebraska panhandle, around 3 inches here also. Just a good soaking rain we haven't seen since '18. More than last year's total right here. Not a minute too soon, might be too late to help some of the wheat. Doesn't cure the drought but sure will help the grass last...

H, I still have that bronc to saddle. What a fitting tribute. Not a lot of Dad's make 89 and chugging along, I am blessed.

Amen, Webfoot. We are in the country blessed with dry wind and plenty of it, I'm hoping someplace gets enough rain to summer all the pairs that will be sold here. We have avoided fires here locally, so far. Seems like forever since the spring of '19 when we nearly drowned. I keep remembering...

We never met in person, but my brother fed a lot of bulls he used and my nephew found him a gentle horse to ride after his bout with West Nile. Short Grass is right..

That last comparison leaves me a lot quieter than either picture represents, thanks, I needed that, MC.

Cool temperatures here also, but we have gotten close to a half inch of rain this afternoon. The heavy storms have missed us. That's almost an inch since the blizzard in March, getting close to two inches for the year. It's green, but the hay is awful short.

The weather pattern here has evolved to extremes, right now its a cool cloudy extreme. No general rain but I did see a couple puddles in the Hot Springs, SD area last Saturday. Scottsbluff is only 1.25 below normal precipitation for the year which is about what we have had, not counting dew...

What H said. Big chunk of the west has had a breeze for a while, relentless. My brother who lives in Wyoming said he is tired of wind, and he usually doesn't notice it...

Any liquid will do at my place. I don't get up real early every morning, but I fall asleep thinking of the next days tasks. That generally has me awake before 6, standard time. Some days I have been at a while by then.

It would be interesting to know how many calves this system froze, what I hear locally, it's been the challenge you would expect. What I have read, it's been that for a lot more folks than generally need to expect that result. Been warmer here for 2 and a half days. Some mud this afternoon...

Red Robin, that's too cold. Minus 15 here when the wind kicked up. Coldest this 8 day stretch has felt. Good for the market, not so much for the producers. To quote Soap, "this too, shall pass." I am ready. It's burning through 90 days of the best stalk grazing I've ever seen, and a fair...

I was told the fastest way to get a cow to do something is to wait for them to figure out what needs done, same applies to where they should be.

We had a skiff of snow last night, sure helped with the dust. Almost no wind today, that's written down for sure.

Mild temperatures here, but persistent wind. Not horrid, but we have seen some "I ain't ever seen that befores". Electric fence posts are getting stretched out flat with corn fodder. North side of every tree row is decorated and the power lines have the occasional corn stalk draped on them...

Merry Christmas to all from our corner of the world, the corone is on the decline in Nebraska currently. Cows don't seem to care about it much. Best wishes H and family.
