It rained this afternoon
I hear it's going to rain a lot Friday night and Sat depending on which model you follow
You guys are further west maybe you won't get soaked

We have the possibility of getting 4-7 inches but I don't think that'l happen. We had some major rain just to the north and south of us, lots of flood warnings. We are in a pocket so the rain hasn't been that bad. I need to turn off the fan for my fat milkers, don't need them getting chilled.

We can't seem to get anything in moderation
It stayed wet
Then it stayed so hot and we didn't get any rain and it got dry pasture was turning brown
A couple of inches would have been nice

Y'all getting much from Hermine?
We have had light rain most of the day but it's getting harder now it seems

Pretty much the same here. Light rain but had a few bouts of heavier rain during the day. The wind has really picked up so I brought the goats that were on the other land back home.
The brats decided to knock down all the walls on their shelter, that's why they are back home with better shelter now.
One problem though, they share a fence line with the meat bucks, one of which can easily hop a 4ft fence if he wants to. That wouldn't be good as it would be a father/daughter breeding. Hoping I don't need to break out the bottle of lute LOL
It is chilly out! I needed a jacket when I was bringing the goats home. Of course the wind was real bad but still!

Ok I take it back, it's not chilly… it's cold 
Just stepped out for a minute to take a dog out, rain just picked up and the wind is strong! Real loud too!
Of course Isaac stood in his shelter yelling for me to bring his food to him when I was out feeding earlier. He's not spoiled or anything…
ETA: saw someone here in NC posted some pics on FB of a goat they clipped today, someone's going to be chilly tonight! Hard when it was in the 90's yesterday and the 60's today
