« Off Dry Creek Road | Main | October 6, 2006 »

October 4, 2006

The first day of October brought intermittent showers, enough to settle the dust on our main feeding roads, though not enough to start the grass. We’ve been feeding since August, concentrating on our first calf heifers, 75% of which have calved in the first six weeks; of the older cows, about 50% have calved in the first thirty days. We’re quite pleased, however hesitant to take too much credit for our good fortune.

Monday, feeding in a cloud on Top and in Sulfur limited visibility to about 30 yards.

The welcome change in the weather has us scrambling to stain and seal the house and deck as well as finishing the installation of the roof on our new office as the weather prognosticators generally agree on varying degrees of moisture later today.

Dry Creek: .12 inches
Greasy Creek: .14 inches
