We are having the wettest winter in the 15 years that I have been here. Our drought finally was broken in February when we got a good run in our creeks and all dams finally got full but the super saturated ground has not dried out as we got into autumn and winter and then combined with good rain at regular intervals we are now wetter than wet. I can only get a vehicle to very limited places around the property. I call it the 3 times rule, you get across a piece of ground once and if you are lucky you might get back but if you try for a 3rd time you go straight through to the slurry below and are there for the duration.
I know a lot of you there have very wet winters, fortunately I don't have to feed hay, the cows have plenty of feed stockpiled in the paddocks with their preferred grazing at the moment being green feed under the trees among the rocks on the hills where it has been a bit sheltered from the frosts. I just couldn't imagine how it would be trying to feed out hay in this slop. They tell me there is money in mud.
