Dung Beetles Got Busy

[Chuckie]

We had a little over one half inch of rain, a few days ago, and it did moisten up the soil a few inches on top. When the soil becomes moist, it makes the Dung beetles become active and I saw more mounds around the patties afterwards. They were pulling the manure down and it was dissappearing as they were cleaining up behind the cows. In between the rains, that I wished we had, I would like to see light showers come, to keep the soil moist so the dung beetles could continue this cycle, before the cows come back to graze again.

Also, I wish that the next post hole I dig, I would hit a vein of gold, and could afford to put in a three phase irrigation system for the hay field, a new tractor, hay baler, etc............................... :banana:

I thought about that earlier, when I was considering spending my hard earned money from hand digging a post hole, and striking gold. Did I really want to spend it on more cow doo-dads? Yes, I do!!! I am still having fun,I am still having fun learning. I still wish I had an irrigation system in the hay field. Then a new hay baler, and a nice used tractor. I would like to have an addition to the barn where I could put my chute and working system under roof to AI the cows. This is the first year that I am going to get to do this. I am really looking forward to it, and it would be nice to go forward without worries. I want to keep it simple, but very usable.
