It is damn warm here, was about 100 yesterday. We had the coldest driest Spring I have ever seen. 1st cutting was a joke. Yields were way down. Only saving grace was the quality was excellent. Alfalfa tested 56% TDN or above. Dairy hay when dairies in the valley are struggling too. Oh well, there is 2 more cuttings to put up, and next year too.
The Krone Company Big Bale Tour is pretty neat. The German engineering is something to behold with that baler. It is very quiet and well built. The JCB tractor is amazing too. 40 mph down the road and suspension like a truck on it. With that outfit parked next to a Hesston Baler and Case IH tractor it was like looking at a Chevy next to a Mercedes.
I am pretty proud of my calves being that they are out of purchased cows. I have bought cows before and couldn't wait till the next calf crop because of the poor quality.
