The calves look super! I wish we had some of your mud. In this country, they say that you need to have enough mud in the spring that you seriously contemplate selling the cows.... or you won't have a great year for pastures or haycrops. All I know is that mud trumps dust 10 times out of 10. I would gladly trade you some of our dust for your mud. It is very dry here... again. No runnoff from winter snow.
We were like this last year and we received good rains in May and June which gave us pastures and hay , but it has been extremely dry here since early July 07. I am starting to get tired of looking at the sky for a few clouds!
