Weather: Woke to a clear smoke-free morning. Lovely
Where: Cows (215 + 130 2’S + 66= 415) in BW-2. 415 X 1.6= 664 AD daily demand. Bulls (22) LS-1 (15 acres) Supplement: 3 + 1 Another 40-acre split. Cows relaxed and nice even pressure on water leaving tank near full all the time. Despite the pit being open for backup recharge for Lackey Well the pit remains full. The improved 2” and 3” inch pipeline is making a big positive difference in water delivery. Still some snipe and curlews hanging around near spring area in WG-12.
