Our vet says he never complaines about the rain but he does complain about the mud.
5 inches of rain today and it isn;t letting up. That makes 11.65 inches for the month so far. We've been wanting to do springf workup for 2 weeks and it hasn;t been decent enough to do it. Dam calves will be ready to wean by the time we get around to the spring workup

Lucky you. We're at just less than 7" for the year here, and the majority of that came the first week of January.

I feel your pain! We're planning on working all the cattle next Sat - contingent on the weather. The 10 day forecast shows 70% rain for Wed but chances are low the rest of the week. I'll send some sunshine your way :)

I can imagine what it looks like on I-64 through southern Illinois. Those low bottom lands flood when someone up on the Wabash takes a leak. I wonder if the interstate is flooded???

Does that mean trouble for the Miss River downstream this year?

Most likely, my access to the town where we haul drinking water from will require an additional 20 miles for at least a week because the mississippi river covering roads
