a good result............

Well the girls went to auction.........

while I am still sad about having to sell them.......there is some good news........

We had a price on them as reserve which equaled about $1.20/kg

the girls sold for $1.59/kg.........

now this doesn't sound like to much but it amounts to $140/head more

So that will greatly help the partnership cash flow and to know we didn't "give" them away feels better.........

The rain coming thru sure helped the sale...........we have only had 12mls so far here............others around the district have had some good falls up to 50mls I have heard..........

not sure about NL but K had less then us again.................at least it can rain..............I could see the grass had grown while I was at work yesterday..............it rained all day for only a couple of mls............so perfect to encourage grass to grow...........but would love some bigger falls..........

Thank god summer is over........it's been one of the hardest I have had to endure with the drought.......
record setting heat of 47.6 (118F) on the 3rd of Jan a day I would prefer to forget.......
Dec avg 34.9 deg C (2 above avg)
Jan avg 35.9 (1 above avg)
Feb avg 34.4 (.9 above avg)
pretty sure we have seen the end of the high 30's early 40's til next summer...........
Actually every month since July has been warmer then avg...............but then when you have no rain you don't have cloudy days to bring the temp down...............
bring on autumn I say..............

Catch you later
