Much like jigs, our place took the brunt of the storms that passed through NC Kansas this past weekend. Took a pretty heavy toll on the crops, but we're a resilient bunch and we will survive.

My father and I did a round of the pastures on 4-wheelers on Sunday morning while everyone else was at church. Don't worry, I always find a way to incorporate pictures of the cows!

Ponds are full and in most cases running over - creeks are full and moving swiftly.






Never good when your spillways looking like you could white water raft down them...


Fixing water gaps - always fun...


Also checked out the crops, very disappointing to lose the wheat crop this close to harvest. Losses varied from 5-50% of the wheat crop. Some of it was pretty beat up and broken.


Corn didn't fair much better - not sure how it will respond...


Roads, culverts - all in need of repair...




Roadside - not supposed to be driftwood here...


Oh yeah, the cows... Young commercial pairs

I'm going to keep my eye on this guy - I think he has herd bull prospect written all over him...


Monument son that is a do-it-all type of bull, super feminine heifers and growth and thickness in his bull calves. We are going to take a son of his to the state fair this year, that I think should do very well.


2 yr old Yankee daughter, mother is the best cow on the ranch.


Cleaned out a grain bin and took a load of wheat to the Scoular terminal in Downs. They had a rough night also. Blew the middle out of their million bushel grain storage facility.
