Weather: Cooler.
Where: Cows in WG-4; Yearlings in L-5; Bulls in corral paddock. Daily cow move. Yearlings move into L-6 at end of day. Heron shows up for a moment on top of Hungarian Elm next to chicken coop. Not excessive yet measurable the hoppers steadily persist in their daily harvest. How will their presence this year manifest in 2024?

Where: Cows in WG-3-4; Yearlings in L-5; Bulls along County Road (LS-12). Midday cows move into WG-4. Yearlings move once. Three more yearling bulls into heifer yearlings and four older bulls into cows. Bull 2081 went a bit crazy, and we will need to send this bull back to Travis for failing the temperament test. Hayden Vanderburg from NAP was here all day to check in with Tyler and Dana and I on the apprentice program. Weather: Very hot with some cooling in the evening. Projected temps to drop back into the 80’s the next few days.
Where: Cows in WG-3; Yearlings in L-5; Bulls along County Road (LS-12). Daily moves for cows. Twice daily moves for yearlings. Country continues to dry out and hoppers are having a larger impact. Long-time friend Tommy Crouse arrived for a few days bringing his unique delightful perspective and often inappropriate humor into our daily routine.

Where: Cows in WG-3 20 acre split in the am, yearlings in L-4 with a 10-acre split in the am. Yearlings 8 acre split in the am trying to beat the heat. Bulls still in LW-12 chewing on grass in front of the HQ but the hardly put a dent on the grass. Moved yearlings one more time into L-5 where there was more native mixed with crested wheat. By the looks of the manure, we probably stayed too long in L-4 with very ample yet too high a percentage of coarse feed. Weather: Warm but still hot with a breeze from the southwest.
