Jersey you could blow some up my way. We really need it. There is a crack right down the row in the corn field. We have been waiting for some rain.

I'll bet you really are getting soggy down in yur country...now at the risk of sounding picky...you could send it up here..but just at nite...please...lol With the pup and new horse..I've been out moving cattle around more this spring no matter what the weather...lol And I had the reputation of being a fairweather cowgirl...it's getting ruined now!!! Of course if it is raining when I get up in the morning...I might just pull a blond trick and say that it is "nail" day..lol spose that'd work? It's suppose to be a nasty storm tonite...hail and wind..but so far nuttin..hope it misses us. With all that wet ground down there, I'll bet the wild pigs are luvin it! Get yur flippers on them boots Lilly...and teach them new baby calves to paddle and tread water...lol

So far...they are 'lovin it' on someone elses place. We haven't seen any fresh roots in a while.......soon as the sun shines tho, look out, they seem to get real busy then.

All this rain should really make the next hay cuttin good. :D

Thank you lilly for all your help. That shower I got a week ago is about gone. It just turned the grass green but very little grouth. We are still feeding hay that I cut in the spring.
This year looks to be another 2000.
I was in the hay field yesterday and i am loseing my stand. Yes just patches of green and patches of dead grass and dirt. That is what two years of drought will do for you. I have sold some cows and plan to sell some more if I can't get another cutting of hay. I wonder how much it will cost to have a rail car of hay shiped in? How many can you get on a rail car. The going price for round hay is fron $65 to $85 a roll, 4X6.
I wonder if I can make enough on a train load to make it worth the trouble?

Last year around here, IF you could find hay it was $120 bale for crappy hay. (We didnt buy any) we sold a few cows, and this spring have already sold off some of the calves before we normally would have, just to keep them from havin calves on em in case it turns off dry like it was the last few years.

So far things are lookin good, but we all know how quick that can change.

I sure will keep you all in my prayers that you get rain soon, in substantial amounts.

We're getting showers today-- just get started doing something and another shower comes thru and dumps for 10 minutes, until you're good and soaked- then quits for an hour....Windy- 55 degrees-- kind of miserable out...Weather boys say it should turn into a general rain by tonite...

If we get another .25 of moisture before the 1st of June, Glasgow will have set a new alltime record (since they began records in 1899) for moisture in May...Right now we are the 3rd wettest May in history :D :D :D
