Rain! Holy cow, it’s like we live in Seattle or something!! There’s local flooding around parts of the state… Thermopolis, Kaycee, and the creek is as full as it can get here. More rain and parts will start getting flooded.
We had plans to give the heifers we are AI’ing their Lutalyse shot, but held off until after lunch, hoping for a break in the weather.
Uh.
Nope.
Nothing like slipping and sliding in 4″- 5″ of goo. The alleyway where I was shushing the heifers up was pretty deep. The rain soaked my slicker, my coat, and parts of my shirt. I wore my cowboy hat to keep the rain from running down my neck… yup, pretty soggy too!
Glad I have a good washing machine!
(and this was after walking through some tall grass!)
Please send some of that weather to the Bay Area!
I’m wondering, did you continue working in that weather or give up for a better time?
We worked! When things have to be done, you do them!
I hope the weather improves for you. Drier and warmer would be good.
WoW!! What a mess to work in. The fun side of ranching.
