You complainers just suck it up and enjoy your moisture. :wink:
How about you just take it for us?

We were still wet in the fall,after 3 years of basically just rain.
Yep- same here if you take all this weather...I spent from midnite on dragging in sleds with calves in them- then when I had hotbox full- I parked my pickup in the lot and started throwing calves in the cab (actually a quicker warmer than the hotbox- but getting harder for this arthritic old fart with a bad back to throw them into :wink: )...
I think this weather is even affecting the animals... I had a 5 year old cow that is the biggest pet- a real cakehound - that has been plumb gentle with every calf she's had....This morning when I was dragging in calves she got out of the heavy pen (and I was too busy at time to get back in) and then when I went in to feed the main bunch of cows- she ran out the gate and headed across the prairie... I got her back in- to see a few minutes later she had jumped (tore down) a section of fence and took off about a 1/4 of mile across the hay meadow where she layed down and had her calf...Then when the son tried to weigh the calf and bring them in- she was snorty and tried to take him...She followed the sled and calf in- and since the sun was out and getting warm we thru her and the calf in some straw... And I'm betting this evening I can go out there and she will again be wanting a cake handout...
Coincidentally her second calver daughter calved about 10 minutes before her- and while being a very attentive mother was plumb easy to handle- just like her mother was every other time...
