Went up the hill and calves came in., I put some feed and Betsy came in and then 1305 came around the truck and came in so I gave her some feed... but I had just fed the calf the bottle and I did not let him in with the cow... letting her dry up... but letting her come in to eat some will make it easier to catch her when it is time to put her on the trailer.
The sky was real dark to the west... saw a couple bolts of lightning... but the wind has been nearly straight from the south heading north... got home, and got the boxes in the explorer to go to test tomorrow afternoon... 550 cows, and emptied a couple extras that I take, and got the bottles in the trays for Tuesday afternoon. So that much is ready ahead of time... one less thing to have to do. Locked the chickens in the run, and the NH in his crate... the wind was blowing and the dark clouds were getting closer... and finally there was some thunder and we got a short downpour... might get a little more but it is moving pretty fast. Still going more north than east. Looks like @Mini Horses is going to get alot more rain than us.
Going to make something for supper... It is still warm out... it hit 73 and there wasn't alot of sun on the recording thermometer... if it wasn't for the wind, it would have been almost too hot for this time of year. Temps are going to cool into the low 50's... tomorrow not much above 50 and then right near freezing tomorrow night... Yo-Yo temps...
