Just a plain old 'crap' day here. Temps in the mid 40's and drizzle all day.

We have a sunny day here but we'd prefer some more rain. Our tanks are low, our dam is low. We'd like to move our heifers to the other side of our place but we either have to provide them with water in a trough (filled from our precious water tank supply) or leave them a path back to the dam (which requires lots of electric fencing tape). :barnie

We had to help our neighbour out yesterday as he had 2 of his bulls get out on the verge of the road. Thankfully there's very little traffic at the moment. He actually brought them back through our place as there's a gate between the two properties. He's running low on feed (they were after the longer grass on the verge) and feeding out what would usually be stockpiled for winter. But the meat works are running at a lower capacity than usual due to water shortages, as well as having to have lower staffing numbers due to Covid-19 restrictions, so none can be offloaded at the moment.

You guys were so dry last year, I hope you get more rain to help make up for it.

The farmers are having a tough time of things here too. This whole year has been a total mess.

Yes ma'am. Easier for me to sit with her too. Just found out DD and her heathens are going across town for a b'day party and won't be home until tomorrow:yaGrammy and Gramps are ready for a break and so are the kids to be honest.

We are moving further into drought here. It is a 20 year drought so far with a couple of wetter years in between
