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

There are worse problems to have. In 2011 I said I'd never complain about rain again.

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
