[QUOTE="gman4691, post: 1851587, member: 43107"] Whew…took a little stroll over the place late this afternoon. Mighty soggy down there. Got 3 or 4 holes in fences to fix, a total of 5 huge hackberry trees to cut up and move, one big old oak still down across a dam (that one will be fun), still got 2 big piles of brush to move, need to rework some of the rock where the two culverts were installed…all this rain is making the work pile up…mighty soggy down there. If that weren't enough, saw a new calf down there…can't get close enough to tell what it is yet. Its mother is the last of the somewhat "flighty" cows. With a calf on the ground she's gotten quite a bit worse…she may take the ride with the calves this fall. Rye grass is still useable but the window is closing fast…need some dry weather pretty quick. On a positive note, the spraying I did before we all started building arks has had a good effect. Rehab pasture showing quite a bit of rescue grass…don't know what, if anything, I should do about it. I've heard Pastoria works on it but I've never used it. The chicken litter we spread on that pasture has really helped it green up.
