[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 892287, member: 16453"] Jilleroo, you paint a very nice descriptive picture of that dam on the creek. It is hard to reason why they rest where they do sometime. I guess that 3day is a fact of life every summer where you are, but the heat and lying out in the sun would certainly add an extra dimension to it. When we had it here two summers ago, I found that I would only notice them a bit sluggish at the end of the first day, they would be down all the second day usually in amongst the trees, the following day they would be up by the morning and start to tack onto the herd and graze. I think our milder conditions certainly helped them. They really fell of their milk and being at the end of their lactation never came right back and calf growth rates dropped. I didn't do what I planned today, I was feeling pretty flat, I got the cows shifted and chased around for a bit more lovegrass. I want to do a bit more work in the shed, but its getting a bit hot (29C), sorry Jilleroo, I'm a bit of a wooss, I probably need to buy one of those large industrial fans for the shed, it just needs a bit of air moved.
