Alfalfa

IMG_2401

Along with the cows and calves, the buck above waits in the brush for hay. Freezing temperatures have burnt the grass back at the higher elevations in the granite, and most everywhere in the clay. Only in the sandier soil along the creek is there any sign of green. Chances of any grass before February are slim to none. Long range forecast dry. We’ve been liquidating cattle to stretch out the hay.

  2. Indeed, Virginia. And everything grows tamer as we feed cows. Even the ground squirrels have moved to burrows closer to the feed grounds.
