Typically by now its faired off and dry. Dave �The man who complains about the way the ball bounces is likely to be the one who dropped it.� Lou Holtz

I'm by Glendive, and we're dry.....and the one good rain we had brought hail. Most of our grass and hay got pounded hard.

Old crop hay. Stuff we hayed last year isn't worth doing. Yeah, my only hay this year was stuff we grazed last year, not hayed. We were saving it for winter grazing and most of it got flatened by the early snow we got. LOTS of dead stuff to rake up. We used a 21 foot draper and raked them together. The windrows still didn't touch. It made about 1000 pounds an acre. I am MAGA.

Been some terrible hail around this year. My dad got hailed out in the 70's once. Killed all the birds and stripped all the leaves. He said it was silent after that. Not a singe chirp or anything.

I reckon we would have to hustle out there and bring in the sheep. I think a bad hail storm would be tough on lambs. I am MAGA.

Slow down, RPM up, still nothing. Dry it would slip right through. Hail killed a couple calves and knocked the eye out of horse. Not my critters. Knocked every fricken window and light. Bad storm for a local guy. Last edited by SamOlson; 07/15/21.
