Heard

I heard something very interesting the other day. I had a neighbor preg check his replacement heifers and ended up with 22% drys. Well over normal for them just like my 24% dry was well over for me. Now I really wonder why my neighbor, over 10 miles and 3 herds away, would have about the same dry percentage as me?

This is really curious. Maybe there is a deeper mystery here. I will have to find out how other people's heifers did in this area. Maybe I don't have as big as problem as I thought. Maybe it's sunspots or aliens or smoke in the air causing the problem. It will be interesting to find out some other people's percentage.

The next question is, will this continue through to the cows? Damn, too many questions and not enough answers.

I managed to finally get the bulls out. I was a few days later than normal due to all the moisture we have been having recently. It isn't quitting wither. The are predicting one to three inches of rain in the next 36 hours and have issued flood warnings for the area due to the all ready saturated ground. Can you say watter logged? You can see my two helpers, my daughters, chasing the bulls in the picture. The hired hand hasn't started yet and I needed help getting the bulls out so they were drafted. The oldest is a hell of a hand but hates every minute of it. The younger one has the better instincts and really enjoys it, but is a lot more tentative and needs a lot more seasoning to really make a hand. Taken 6/5/2007.
