Finally, it has rained. Not anywhere near where we should be but the pastures are finally turning green. We finished seeding our greenfeed the 3rd of July and it is already up. Now all we need is some heat and more rain!!!!
It is amazing how 2 inches of rain could make such a difference. But thank goodness it didn't stop there. To date we have had close to 4" (about 1/4 of what we should have by now) but at least we have pasture for the cows - even though it meant turning them in on some of the hay fields.
Speaking of which - the newer fields were actually looking pretty good until the 3rd hail storm we had a week ago. Now they are missing a few leaves but will still make us some hay! If it keeps this up we may even be able to keep most of our cows this fall!
Until till next time, have a GREAT! day and enjoy your summer.
