Busy
So we're stripping wheat and barley, we planted another three fields of cotton into moisture - we're just going to let nature take care of it; it was my idea I hope it works. On top of that I sprayed all the cotton we already put in, plus a dryland paddock which we sowed to forage sorghum, I modified some of the feeders in the feedlot to try and cut down on the mess when they are being filled, we bought a couple of hundred cattle which had to be put through the yards and today we are trucking out a hundred and fifty to match the hundred and fifty that we trucked out last week. We've started filling the hayshed with barley straw, it should be full in a couple of days. Add to that the five or six hours a day it takes to keep the roads in good order for the wheat trucks and I've nearly got enough to do to stop me getting bored.

Good one Cantellya. Though on the odd occasion it has snowed briefly to the border, on the ranges east of Dirk.
Sounds like the money end of the year eh Dirk. Feedlotting cattle or selling em. Good prices on news today. I guess you using a grader on the road, or dragging a blade. Hope ya get a break over the weekend though. Neat post.
