Good Morning!--Chat thread

wynedot's right. I'm up at 4 a.m. for milking. No rough night here. I slept like a log-I was to tired for anything to keep me awake!

What time do you go to bed every night Kitty?

kudos to you, thank goodness I only have one!! (maybe 2 someday) The only reasons I like to get up that early are for cattle drives and checking heavies

That varies. In the winter 8-9 p.m. But, this time of the year..... last night was 10 p.m. the night before 10:30 p.m. It is rarely before 9 in the summer and that's an early night. Boy, could I use an early night right now!

Oh wow, you have my respect. I don't think I could survive doing what you do everyday.

Good morning everybody!

There, I am outta bed!
Isn't that enough?
We are supposed to have some showers today, so I'm not sure what I will be doing today, other than avoid getting rained on!

I wandered down to one of my small hay fields last night. Looks like IF we ever get to hay again, I might get to do that one too!
Usually, we don't get to it until later and the hay is only so-so!

Thank you. I'm not a night person anyway so getting up early isn't to bad.

thewife, rain is in our forcast today too. Everything we had down is baled! I just wish we could finish first cut! Between weather and breakdowns, it's enough!

I checked the counter on the round baler and it says 45 bales. Subtract a couple for an issue. We generally put up 110-140 bales. We still have more to go but, I think we're going to end up short. The first cut didn't get as high as normal due to the cold wet weather we had earlier. Now, it's getting a little dry and the nights are still cold. July and I have to wear a sweatshirt in the morning for chores.

I'm glad you got it baled!
With our 2 days of misty rain and now showers, I really feel sorry for the people around here that had hay down.

We were counting on getting hay from the neighbor, but the field they planted last year did not come in good. We will just do the math and only keep what we feel we can feed! Or, I might do some heavy culling and pick up some new blood when prices drop this winter?

And if you can find a way to sneak in more of those big floppy ears............

Would I do that?

Actually, it would probably be Hubbys cohort that would be finding the new critters, so you know darn well what he will bring me!
Solid black, no floppy ears! BORING!

You would, if you could find a way.
