The feed looks pretty and green! Cattle are content and in fine flesh. Elk looks tasty too. Glad things are going well over there. Send any extra moisture ya don't need west would ya? :wink:

Thanks! When we start haying in a couple weeks I'll try and share the rain a little but for now I'm a little stingy with it. :wink:

I do hope everyone starts getting the rain they need!!!

Good looking cattle and what a view you have every day!
I wish I lived that close to the mountains.

I like your cattle. Those bulls look like real meat machines.
Classy calves! Nice females!

Beautiful country and great looking critters, both the beef and game varieties. Send some of that rain our way when you're done with it!

Nice Herefords. They look all washed and clean.

so is that when you normally start hay season or was it just dry early?

We're at 4000 to 4700 at this latitude. Can you grow spuds there? All they do is freeze off here.

I really like the green grass, but that ol' dry feed sure puts the weight on. Hope you wind up with some hay. I guess Rob over at Hillside had a good rain last weekend, too. I think Chuck Kidder used to raise spuds in the south end of the valley.

Looking good!!! Doesn't look like the cows have missing any meals :wink:

We have quite a few with that "spotted gene" I kinda like it.

We normally try to start haying the second or third week in July but then it usually rains for a couple week before we really get to rolling.

That's right grandpa did raise some but they didn't get very big. On the other side of the mountains from us in the San Luis Valley they grow a lot of potatoes but they're a bit lower than we are.

Did Rob tell you what hay is selling for this year?

 

[Shortgrass]

Actually, I did not see Rob, butI talked with Jerry at a reunion in Canon. He did not say what hay is bringing, but I'm hearing pretty high prices if you can find it.
