January 23, 2006

Roads at the higher elevations are beginning to dry out and passable if we’re careful.
We gathered some cows and calves to brand tomorrow, and in the process checked the gauge in Greasy to update our season totals [October through today].

Season Totals

Dry Creek: 9.35
Greasy Creek: 10.67
Paregien: 9.41

We ought to get the amount for the last two rains at the Paregien corrals in the next day or so. So far, it’s been a good rainfall year, but our grass season lasts until May, needing some regular rains through mid-April. Though it’s good to see the grass getting ahead of the cattle, we’ve got a ways to go, yet.
