Well, it's been a very busy week but I'm getting things done. Got all the renovating done and got all the cattle worked out to the hills so that is all a plus. I say that like there is a minus, I guess there is, moisture. There is a chance today and the rest of the week but I am not holding my breath. It's to the point I don't think it is ever going to rain again.
I plan on branding a little bunch of calves next Sunday so this week will be taken for getting ready for that. In truth it should only take a couple of days to get ready but I like to cushion myself just a little with a couple of extra days.
I ran down to Sheridan yesterday and was amazed at the number of acres I saw getting plowed up out of alfalfa and grass. I don't know if they are planning on planting wheat or what but it really seemed strange. Me, I am trying to maximize my hay production so I don't have to buy any. With this lack of moisture I don't know how much hay I will get this year but I do have quite a bit sitting in the stacks so I am looking pretty good for now.
Gotta get going now. See how things are doing.

Seems like it would be too late to plant wheat especially as dry as that area promises to be. I would think corn would be more likely. Irrigating corn up is no problem but small grains do much better if they get natural moisture to emerge.

Since this is all dryland, I don't know what they are up too. Just seems weird.
