West central SD has had very high humidity, with slightly above normal temp and sounds like it will continue a while. Saturday was 90/90 (temperature AND humidity both hitting the 90 mark). Not fun! Today was about the same. Moved some cows several miles. Started about 4:30AM and the didn't move well at all. They were in the n.e. corner of the pasture and did not want to move to the s.w. which was direction they had to go. Expected guys here for dinner at noon and it was just after 2
M when they got in. Started cutting alfalfa after dinner, and going over old alfafla ground prior to planting milo filled out the day. I thought they should quit and take the rest of the day off after putting in such a long "morning", but it was about 8PM before the first guy showed up finished for the day. All too typical of days on this ranch!
