Record July rainfall

[kenny thomas]

We had 12.70" of rain during July. All time record for July. Normal is about 4.50. Had another 3/4 in today.
Grass is plentiful and so is hay. Only thing not here are enough cattle. Very low numbers selling.

Well Kenny sure glad someone is getting it. We got record shortfalls may june july rain none.

AC heard that last week West Plains and another big barn had to turn away cattle because pens were full. I have been hearing smaller barns were doing that but W P is huge. Seems a good cattle trader with plenty of grass and hay would be filling pastures up.

With that new depression in the Atlantic you might get some this month too!/! Want to buy some cows?

We contacted the guy over the market at Searcy, AR and he was suppose to buy us a few loads of cows. But then he said they were too high. Seems he didnt want them coming east.

Maybe one of the wettest July here too, but it was badly needed and you can barely see it was rainy just 2 days into August. It's turning very dry very quickly.
Maybe a repeat of Aug 2011--every day but 1 over 100 deg?

 

[jedstivers]

They are still high, don't know when they will break.
We are selling hay to a guy that has ties to W P, call AC and get his #. I do t have it or I'd it to you.

I had heard that too about West Plains. On a different I heard that a sale barn around here was going to have a horse sale one night last week and when the employees got to the barn there were already 16 head tied up outside with a note saying sell them and keep the money. The people didn't have the money for this high priced hay. People are begging for hay on Craigslist around central MO. Even if a neighbor would like to help them out and not gouge them in this drought they need it for their own animals.

Next Monday we have a 30% chance of rain and it will cool off to a 100 degree high.

There's hope!

Our July rainfall was down about 5 inches.. not good. Temps are running the highest in the country around here ...114 F yesterday... Even hotter than Death Valley!! :shock: Ready for August to pass by and get some September rains in here.

You have been lucky till now, I'm 43 and remember several years of 60,80 or even 103 days without a rain. And we average 52" a year, we go that long without one it gets nasty.
