(I actually typed this up last fall and meant to get some pics attached and never did. Hate to waste it so here it is, better late than never :)
Its been a long hot summer and had a short dry fall, looks like winter is not far away. Thankfully we've received some much needed rain in the past month. Still not back to where we need to be but better than it was. Pastures are gone for the most part and we've already fed 50 bales of hay. Shocking since I've not fed that much hay before January in the past 4 yrs.
