I moved these guys Thursday evening across town to a 1 acre piece that's not being used. The moves went very well & the boys are enjoying life!   |

Wow! What great looking grass, mine is about 1" tall and we need some good rain to get it up and going.

This is a lot about 30 mins from our place that my grandparents bought in the '50s. No one lives there anymore, really a shame. Figure I'd put these guys there this year for as long as the grass lasts. Definitely will help me & will keep the fire dep from calling wanting it mowed. My pasture looks NOTHING like this, although better management this year will hopefully help.
Gene, to the left is just a house, a prison guard that works San Quenten. Bought the place for retirement, no animals. Not sure why the wood/chainlink fence, he's got no animals. This place has been untouched for 5 years or so except for a few local deer. Feel very fortunate

Joel, In the event your could feel even more fortunate with such nice grass available, here's a picture I snapped yesterday of our little girl Debbie who had the tough calving experience a few weeks ago. She's doing really well.. I'm sure there is some grass under those snowbanks somewhere ;D  |

Debbie looks good Hans, glad she's ok. It's a different world just across the country. We had lower 80's last week. Looking for a spit of rain today but it won't amount to anything. Their are spots in my pasture at home into which I can't step in a step in. We should snap pics in mid June & compare, you'll be green & I'll be a desert!

Here's hoping you get some rain and your grass stays green! We kind of like our snow here, and when it sticks around late into the spring it seems to just cause the pasture to explode with growth when it finally does warm up a bit.
You know it's bad when you drive down the expressway and start saying it's a shame they don't plant hay along the medians and bale it, or you see large areas of lawn being cut and start saying they should have cows! Clearly I'm not the only one thinking this:) Great for you (and them) that it is so well set up already.
