[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1117380, member: 16453"] Suzie, the last time I checked I found that cows needed feed as well as water. The beauty of trading steers is that you can unload them early when the season looks a bit dodgy compared to hanging onto your females. I got the kitchen cabinets installed well at least as much as we needed to get it all measured up for the bench top. Looks like it could be about 3 weeks before it arrives. Pretty poor really, it is a Masters kitchen but went together pretty well. I would hate to have a family waiting 3 weeks without a kitchen while they got their act together. Jilleroo, that pony has been lame for a while now. Have a good look at the muscle over the shoulder, compare side to side, hose her down to get the hair sitting flat. If it is the shoulder there should be some muscle wastage by now. Look at the muscle over the spine of the scapula. If there was something floating inside the joint the muscle in front of the spine would be noticeably wasted by now. You might get some clue from having a good look at that. We have not had as much rain as Dale has had here. It seems to stop at our front gate but the few showers we have got over the last couple of weeks has given a bit of green to the place and yesterday I got 17mm. If the weather stays warm we might even get a bit of feed happening. I only have the 7 heifers here and they are up the back so at least the grass has every chance to grow, amazing how it does so much better when it is not getting eaten. The cows are surviving in the tin mine and are getting Molafos, cottonseed and now a grain mix. Unfortunately I think the welfare check they get is reducing the range that they graze as they are back every morning lining up for the feed. Ken [/QUOTE]
