Great pics as usual Soap. Does this story in photo go along with the thread on Planning for Drought? Are you pretty dry?
It is terribly dry. I can't imagine that it could have been any worse in the 1930's. At least we are one day closer to the next rain. :wink:
At about the same time that JF Ranch asked me if I had a back-up plan, Denny mentioned that he had grass available. The puzzle pieces all seem to fit into place, right down to a cool day to work the cattle. The heifers and bulls all had to be individually "IDed" by a vet to satisfy Minnesota state regulations. While running them through the chute, we also gave a second foot-rot preventative vaccine and a pink-eye prevention shot, along with pour-on fly control.

Tell Kosmo that we've had some wind like that here, too.
This is a pretty windy country to hold those size eleven boots out that straight in the air. :wink:

Your cattle are doing well in spite of lack of moisture.
Hope someone took the duck to water.
Is JF about to scratch his head over your trucking bill? Liners run about $5.50 per loaded mile or $140 per hr round trip up here.
I should have said, "a duck
wishing it was stuck in the muck." :wink:
The trucking bill came to $7100 for three liners to go 604 miles, with 69 head on each load. It wasn't as bad as I thought it could be.

Great pictures! I've been enjoying the pictures you've posted lately! I think it is neat how it always looks like you guys are on top of things!
Thanks, R A. We aren't nearly as "on top of things" as it might look. One thing about it though, the Good Lord is. His shoulders are a lot broader than mine, so it is pretty easy to just ask Him for help. He always comes through.
