[QUOTE="Rough'n'Ready Plantation, post: 223609, member: 3216"] Cypress- Yeah I haven't posted in a long time... I got all busy with school.... projects and then finals. We did have a few fronts come through, but most of the rain either went north, south, east, or west of us. You know how that goes heh. We were down 20 inches of rain last year, and so far we are 2 inches below normal for 2006. We would've needed to be up 5-10 inches above normal to have a fighting chance this summer. My ability to cull cows is very limited because I just work with the cows I don't have the management authority to sell them. Backhoe- what kind of irrigation system do you use? Most land here isn't perfectly flat, so it is difficult to make irrigation cost effective. But if this drought is indeed a long term phenemon I'm going to push for digging an 8 inch well and running poly-pipe all over the pastures. Thanks for the article Dun! [/QUOTE]
