[QUOTE="TR, post: 564276, member: 22"] Oh heck....sorry, he's a polled Hereford. So, here in Central Texas, the ponds/creeks/tanks/puddles/etc dried up weeks ago. There is no water. Period. Except for what I put in the water troughs for them to drink. We have had no rain since May 13th. Not one drop....excuse me, I felt 2 drops when the outer bands of Dolly graced us....one on my wrist, and when I looked up, the other drop hit my forehead. That was it. The only good thing is that its a dry heat, but at 103+, what's the difference, and that there is lots of shade for him. That being said, he IS on pasture, only there's no grass in the pasture. It dried up over a month ago. Seriously, We're on the "west side of 35" where the dirt is 4 to 6 inches deep before you hit the bedrock. While most years there is grass of a sort for them, we always suppliment protein as the grass isn't very nutritious..... I've had one other polled Hereford pant like this but that was 3 years ago and it just wasn't as hot for as long then as it is for this guy, so I'm wondering if there isn't anything I should do for him until we get a break in the heat....you know...maybe around OCTOBER..... :cry2: [/QUOTE]
