Canada Geese
It’s not that an unusual to see Canada Geese any time of year here. But with irrigated pasture and Lake Kaweah and River within a half-mile, they have chosen the dry feed in our flat for a month or more now. We ran into this bunch while gathering early this morning. A strange and dry year, but apparently producing some species of grass seed that they prefer. Thunderstorms this afternoon are too little too late (0.10″), but the temperature change (high 79°)was welcome to work cattle and wean calves.
Belle Point Bunch
From our older cows around Lake Kaweah, these calves are in pretty good shape, but significantly lighter than last year. With 50% less rainfall than average this season, the clay in the lower country has been impacted most by our dry spring. We’ll cull deeper this year, a third to a half of the cows above will go to town.
