My partially spring fed catfish pond is full and overflowing after getting nearly 3 1/2 inches this month. Some of the others are OK (down some but not dangerous) and a couple are danged low but not in imminent danger of drying out.
We are still way behind in precip but... we are OK for a little while.
The grass,what little there is, is greening up but there is less of it for this time of year than most anyone can remember. If we don't get more rain with few or no bad dry spells, all us little cow calf operations will be in danger of being wiped out. IF you have to buy supplemental feed when historically grass was available the economics will put you way in the hole in a hurry.
I used to think it was a joke but now it is looking like a reality...
The way to end up with $20,000 in your cattle account at the end of the season is to start with $40,000.
