Well apparently I forgot to send Shameless a memo that I was calving. Even if he didn’t get the memo I think 12 inches with 50 mph winds is a little excessive.

Weather guesser luckily wasn't accurate. Snow was so wet that it stuck and didn't blow around and the wind dropped shortly after it started. I don't know how much snow we had total as it was melting as it landed. There looks to be about 3-4 inches still on the ground this morning but it was 34 degrees and the ground is warm so it's been melting all night. I'm not going to complain at all, we've basically had no moisture since the first of last Nov and we needed it bad. I'm just glad it was wet and stuck rather then blow the ditches and fence rows full. I hate to say it but Thanks Shameless!!! ![]() ![]() I'll see what I can do about some pictures to repay ya for the needed moisture. I'll wait for them to dry off first though, because they're like girls, they look prettier with dry fluffy hair.

You know the wind got after it when the snow is stuck up to the soffit.

I was hoping all the snow drifts where about melted soaked into the ground so the green grass was coming. With 2 and a half months of the 3 wetter months gone here and no rain it is stating to dry up already.If no rain in the next week or so the season is done here till fall again.
Had a calf the other day just for shameless I guess. Most all fall calves here. Since we cut cow numbers last summer cause of drought, was hoping to keep calves until fall. But here we go again time for calves to go. But no place wants 450 pound calves without grass, as high as corn price is now.

Winter is usually are dry months and may june our wet. The problem usually comes even if we get moisture to get everything growing july can get nasty and august too but by mid august it cools down at night and doesn't stay above 100 for as many hrs out of the day. 2 weeks of 100 plus and constant winds will wreck summer grass and fall crops other than milo, however if it rains grass and milo will come back sometimes more than others. Worst I remember I think was 2011, and I think we went from late may ~110 days with zero moisture and ~65 days in that time over 100. That was pretty ugly, but we got rain in first of Sept and if the milo was planted after june 1 it still made a decent crop, the grass was toast by mid july and feeding began, however other than that if it didn't have a irrigation well it was toast and the irrigated crops weren't good. I had corn on irrigated that 4 out of 5 ears you would pull off only had kernels on the north side of the ear. I know that sounds crazy but somehow that constant hot wind stop filling or pollination on the south side of the ears, I've seen random problems scattered about the ear but not just one side, so I think that south wind furnace blast just stopped the filling on that side even if it was pollinated. At the west end of the farm I have 3 quarters that in 2 years in that stretch got ~6in of rain total. Probably normal for you but that's bad news out here, had one wheat crop out there that was planted into powder and a couple weeks later got 3/4 in and sprouted it, and that was it. Believe it or not the damn stuff got 3 inches tall and shot a head ![]() ![]() As far as fall calve herds out here I would say probably around 10-15% are fall, the rest are spring. It's a good deal to sell the 500 weight calves for grass as people just get stupid and hold their hand up until they own them, who care if they make money I got green grass mentality

Shameless, I got you some pictures this morning, they were still a little wet but I decided those pretty little snow bunnies would look better in the snow. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I was going to get them posted up tonight but as you can see I got a little windy with Ray so I'll work on that tomorrow.

Local beef growers have been having tough times as to selling their 500 pounders, many ending up getting too big and having to sell locally for butcher beef. Beef prices slid several years ago now and not recovered enough to make ends meet for many small herd owners.
