On Monday we got over an inch of rain. Last year I would have given anything for moisture, so far this spring I am getting more than enough. I rode across my plowed field that I want to seed to grass and my horse was sinking in about a foot and there was water standing in the field. You never see water standing in a plowed field around here. When I will get the seeding done is beyond me.<br />n<br />nI've about got the cows straightened out finally. All the cows with calves hopefully will be in the hills after today and everything without a calf, at this point I call them all drys but it is not true, will be in a separate pasture gaining weight so I can sell them. Some of the "drys" will still calve yet and make the cut to stay on the place but it is nice to get them sorted out. Between the dry year last year and the late snow storm I have more critters in the "dry" pasture than I would like. That means fewer calves to sell come fall especially since I will have to keep more replacement heifers to try to build my herd up.<br />n<br />nIf it isn't one thing it is another. Damn the luck.<br />n<br />n<strong>Most of us regard good luck as our right, and bad luck as a betrayal of that right. William Feather</strong>
