Big Muddy rancher

In a round about way I got the pictures posted. 3 didn't up load and I don't know why but here's the rest. It looked like a bad storm and losing all that crop sucks. Hope you had insurance on it.

We've lost four nice big calves to summer pneumonia, but other than that everything is hunky dory. :wink:
Was Largest Hail Stone Record Broken
Friday?Jul 25, 2010; 12:22 PM ET
Thanks to Facebook friend Dann C. for pointing this out. The National Weather Service in Aberdeen, South Dakota has some photos of a very large hailstone that fell in Vivian, SD on Friday. Just looking at the pictures, it would appear that this stone has broken the record for diameter and circumference that was previously set in Aurora, Nebraska in 2003.
The 2003 hailstone was 7 inches in diameter, having a circumference of 18.75 inches. The new hailstone would appear to have a maximum diameter of around 8 inches and a circumference of about 19 (if the beginning of the tape measure is zero). Of course, we'd have to wait for the NOAA Climate Extremes Committee to ratify a new record, which could take months or years, and it's possible this might set a new diameter or weight record but not circumference.
