Tuesday 8/6 Wednesday 8/7 Thursday 8/8 Friday 8/9 Saturday 8/10 This was a busy day.

Monday 7/29 48 was born! Tuesday 7/30 Wednesday 7/31 Thursday 8/1 I’m seeing pinkeye in EWE 0002. I’m not sure what caused it, but I surmise that she is scraping her eye on the forage. Friday 8/2 Saturday 8/3 Sunday 8/4

Monday 7/22 I ordered 90 bales of hay this year. Plus we got a little rain. Tuesday 7/23 Wednesday 7/24 Thursday 7/25 Friday 7/26 — no videos. Saturday 7/27 Sunday 7/28 It looks like if no grass grows between now and then, I should have plenty of grass through October.

Tuesday 7/9 Hurricane Beryl, or the remnants of it, passed us by. Wednesday 7/10 Thursday 7/11 Friday 7/12 We finally got the other… Continue reading 2024 7/8-7/14 Week in Review
2024 7/1-7/7 Week in Review
Monday 7/1 I moved the sheep and bulls to a new row, 1330′ from the north, 150′ wide. Tuesday 7/2 I put the ram on the sheep. The other ram stayed behind. I moved Rammy in too, but he is probably too young to breed effectively. A note about droughts: All droughts are local, and… Continue reading 2024 7/1-7/7 Week in Review

The weather is still warm. We got some rain on Wednesday. Monday 6/24 Tuesday 6/25 The way the cows eat the dallisgrass makes it look like it is overgrazed after one bite. Dallisgrass doesn’t grow leaves that go very tall. The seed heads shoot up but the leaves stay low to the ground. When the… Continue reading 2024 6/24-6/30 Week in Review

Monday 6/17 Tuesday 6/18 Wednesday 6/19 Thursday 6/20 The weather is hot and humid, and we haven’t had rain for over 2 weeks. There is no real forecast for rain, and it’s likely we are in a drought and just don’t know it yet. Friday 6/21 I noticed that the cows eat the dallisgrass much… Continue reading 2024 6/17-6/23 Week in Review
