A slow, overnight rain left .44" in the gauge this a.m. that should finish germinating our new feed, green that is spotty, at best, as a result of the inconsistent thundershowers earlier this month. Forecast temperatures for the remainder of the week range from the high 60s to low 70s that ought to get our grass season underway with more rain slated for Thursday & Friday.
With some calves nearly two months old, some cows are noticebaly thinner despite increased hay rations. We will continue feeding for a couple of more weeks at least, until the new feed gets established. Big sigh to know our season has finally started.
