My thoughts are the wind farms. They change the lower atmosphere and mix the ground level air with the air at least 600 ft up. The wind farms changed the direction our storms would come from..
I was just sitting here thinking about putting some hay out.
Dang, @MurraysMutts I hate to hear that! I lost a cow last week that had hardware (in spite of having a magnet). The plan was to let her continue to raise her calf until she quit eating cubes (still had a voracious appetite), left the herd or was in distress, and then I'd put her down. Nope. Lost her way earlier than anticipated and I'm sure the heat was a factor, even though her final resting place was lounging in a nice, cool waterway.
I have lost a couple cows. I am pretty sure they are still alive but I have no idea where they are. Oh well as my neighbor says "every good cow has to be somewhere". Supposed to get over 90 degrees tomorrow for the fist time this year. Grass in the hills is still green but that is short lived in the lower elevations. I have more grass in my lawn than you have in your pasture.
Yeah it's bad this year. Started towards the end of last year when I had to sell a few.
I was wondering if you got hit. We had a 50 degree drop in temp from yesterday, real feel 53 when I went out this morning. Ended up with only 1.6" but needed it - and surprisingly, no damage from the storm.
Most went north of us. I need a new rain guage. I'm hearing 1/3 of an inch.
I know what you mean CB. I shipped two loads of steers last night to OKC west. I was hoping to hold them until fall but pastures are starting to get really short and pouring hay and feed to them are profit killers. On the bright side, its not a bad time to sell. Cull cows are way up and feeders are selling really well also!
We're in McGregor-wished for your kind of rain. My folks 15 miles east got 2.9"
That's how it is here. We got 0.2" at my house and 30 miles away had flooding.
