We are sure in much better shape than lots of Montana and the western states that are droughting out...While checking cows and fields yesterday I snapped a couple of pictures...


Grass is still green- and the spring fed coulees still running water...

And altho the dryland hay isn't as heavy as last year- it will still be a fair cutting...

The dryland wheat fields are looking better than I have seen in years...

Wow thanks Oldtimer. I needed that! It somehow makes the smell of smoke more tolerable!

I sure feel for you 3way...I've been there and done that... While I was there I dumped .35 of an inch of rain out of the gauge which had came on the 4th... But the long range forecast is for dry and hot...That wheat is going to need about one more good rain to fill good...

We are deep in the monsoon now. Let's hope it's not too little too late. A lot of our grass has gone dormant already since they cut off the ditches!
 
The granddaughter and I ran around this morning and took a few pictures of the Durham fields.. This is on the irrigated land- but probably the nicest looking crop I've ever seen on this place...
Should be some good straw...

Do you DNA test everything to determine which bull sired which calves??

This year I had to- because of last years flooding I was forced to throw all 3 bulls in one pasture with all the cows and heifers...
This year we ran bulls in separate pastures for the first 30 days- then thru them together... Cuts down the number you have to DNA..
