With me being sick, I haven't been able to spend anytime out with the cows. In March my dad told me that I had no grass, and had run out of hay. He suggested that I cull some. So we did, but the rest of the herd is not in normal healthy shape. So much so that I'm worried about how many cows actually came into heat to breed. Next year will definitely be a watershed year for Cypress Farms. If I'm lucky 80% will breed: If I'm not it could get ugly. Can't cull the one's open from this year because it's not their fault. Wasn't able to tend to them myself to start adding bulk feed when things got bad. All I can do now is cross my fingers.
I feel for those who go through so many droughts and have to worry about this every year. I also have a new found respect for the 'ol timers who would have to sit back and basically see which cows made it though the winter. That had to be tough.
