Some days are easy, some days hard on the farm but today was a hard one......
Lowering numbers because of drought is always crap.....
In my head when other loads go it's because they are fat and ready for sale, they are the old ones to cull, they don't suit our line, the dry cows after pregnancy testing......
But when they go because you have to scale down it's hard. Today we trucked our weaner heifers and some cows.......
Thankfully the prices are still holding up but it will be interesting to see how they go in the sale......
Lots of stock being off loaded at present....... The sales have been big.....
Feed is a major issue...... We have hay arriving today but the fuel to get it here 😱......
It's a dangerous situation...... Limited feed, limited fuel.....
A truck load of hay arrived early this morning......
The hay gets mixed with grain for the cows.....
How long will all this go on for who knows.....
There's no rain forecast, they talk of El Nino coming but I feel like it's already been here for some time....
This baby dropped last night.........
We have cleaned out some dams. It's been way too long since we had run off from rain.
Drought is always a challenge.
We've done it before and we'll do it again. I'll survive but it does leave some invisible scares.
If you're in drought hang in there!!
Maintain your social connections they are crucial....
It will end it always does and we will get thru it once more....
