Water, Water Most Everywhere...

...but none from the sky. October was terribly dry. We haven't had a true rain shower since Hurricane Rita left about 1.5" at the end of September. The pastures are really showing the stress. Many of the locals had to put out hay last weekend for the cattle. Most folks around here ususally hope to defer that task and expense until December or even January. Thus far, we have been spared that necessity due to our low numbers.

Speaking of water, Kyle and I have been busy getting water to the two pastures. Next, we will be putting up some cross-fencing. Hopefully, this will make it easier for us to practice management-intensive grazing. The concept certainly makes sense to me and many folks swear by it.
