The half inch of rain did quite a bit of good.
 
Resembles Christmas out there. :-)

Those heifers sure grew out well, think the price of feed had anything to do with it? If I were a guessing man I would put them at around 850 lbs., am I even close?

I think that is pretty close. Other heifers that were wintered at a different location were hauled to a feedlot situation for the summer. They are running in a 30 acre lot, and are being fed each day. Bulls are with them also. With 20-20 hindsight, all of these heifers would have been sold right off their mothers last fall. :roll: :???: :oops: :? :o :(

Being half Scandihoovian myself, I recognize the profoundness of this observation. :tiphat:
