Skeeter bit me yesterday peeling logs in the yard. Why are you peeling logs?

Sam...Do you grow produce crops or just feed (Hay, alfalfa, etc) for the cows? We do spring wheat, hay barley, silage corn, alfalfa, dryland prairie hay, etc.. Nothing fancy.

The part I don't like is trying to keep up.
Lazy by nature and the schedule is annoying....lol It is a crazy time when everything needs to be planted, watered, sprayed, mowed, and on and on and on.... .. Ok Sam, you're convincing me. Enjoy a cold beer fuucker.

28/12's was a joy on the Caspian Sea. That said, when I was off, I was off.

Dryland prairie hay, that's a new term for me. I used to think that hay fields were hay fields. Never realized how much difference there can be in a bale of grass.

Cow work for 6 months straight and now we have to start farming while still doing even more cow work with branding and hauling them out of here on semi trucks.
My LEAST favorite time of year.
Not whining though. LOL... I get it... I'm building... and hauling around all these big ass heavy timbers... cutting roads and pads... and gonna work the concrete in my spare time. But I ain't whining either. I reckon it is what men do... Vs. Drink NyQuil all day...
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

The big ranch has around 500 calves on the ground all told. Alfalfa work will start first of June or so after the brandings. Can’t raise anything else due to the hungry onslaught of elk.
A woman's heart is the hardest rock the Almighty has put on this earth and I can find no sign on it.

Just about done lambing.
Had a good season really. Finally figured out how to flush them and then feed them in the last trimester.
Lot of twins and a bunch of triplets.
Got started rolling hay fields today. Fugging rough. It's damn dry and hard for April.
Not whining however.
Calving is a little ways off yet.
We changed plans and are trying to buy an air seeder right now. Was going to buy a larger tractor with a 3 pt to pull our disc drill....but decided we didn't need another old pile.
In the meantime we will start working ground tomorrow with a cultivator and our lighter disc.
We bought all new disc blades for our drill....and will get it fixed regardless. We will start sending one way or another.
I am MAGA.

Love this time of year, even though it does get a little busy. The bass are post-spawn so we can start feeding again, don’t have to worry about Oregon shutting down I84 because of rumored snow, and retail customers are showing up in force. Washington should come pick up their $&@%$ catfish in a couple of weeks, so we’re hatching like crazy so we can fill all the raceways back up right after.
First rattler today.

I've got hay fever like a mo-fo right now.
Worst part of spring for me. Drugs are helping a bit.

Not whining though. You could always start up a goose farm Sam.
