That’s great to see them eating. Pray rain comes.

There'as always an odd one - head up - and a different colour.

I looked up what white cottonseed is. Never hard of it before. I hope the draught will soon be over as these beautiful cows need a drop of rain (and human beings probably as well...

Cottonseed, never thought of it as a feed for cows. I take it, these are desperate measures. I can see the changes here in the landscape after only a couple of weeks with hardly (still some) rain. To go without for years.... I feel so sorry for al you farmers. It must be so hard to cope with.
In your photo I did also enjoy the odd one out! Too funny, enjoy your afternoon, our day has just started.

It's a hard life on the land and can be quite unforgiving, then on the other hand quite rewarding. Takes a certain breed of man and woman to stand side by side through it all. I love your caring nature for your animals... but don't forget yourselfs xxx

Once again I find myself praying for rain for you. You are strong stuff girl!

It must be a nightmare for you and all the other farmers: so long without rain. 😳

Denice Barker said...

obviously you wouldn't feed it to them if it wasn't ok for them to eat but I had to smile because they look like they are nuzzling lint. Nothing we say will help ease the drought but know we are watching the sky.

Annelein said...

I hope you'll get rain soon... It hard to know that these are the problems you have to deal with... I'll pray for rain... meanwhile wish you strenght to cope with these problems... xoxo....

Susie said...

I had no idea they ate it. Is it because it's cheaper than hay?

Maria said...

Grim times for you 🤗 My stepdaughter says they're feeding with molasses at the moment...but I think they have had more rain this year than your part of Australia.

Michelle Ridgway said...

Thank goodness you can use it. Hoping things improve soon xx

Hope you receive rain soon.

Jenny said...

All lined up but the Hereford ( is it) looks funny in among all those black one .

Carole said...

Wish there was something I could do. Goodness knows it's been way to long. We had some much needed rain today. It's been a dry (in the sense of rain) hot humid summer. So thankful for a/c and electricity! Hugs

Bethan said...

Never thought of cotton seed as being edible. Fingers crossed for rain for you all soon x

Raewyn said...

It breaks my heart to see how dry you are... I do hope there is somme relief soon and that you all continue to hold up ok xxx
