<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class=""><p class="">Here in central OK, we have been hit with the rainy season. We
are 3.5 in above normal rainfall. Due to some pasture
restrictions, I now have 74 cows & calves on 18 acres.
feeding 3 large round bales a day and 1200 lbs of 14% cubes a
week. I was waiting on the market to improve as it usually does
in April, but with this virus crap, it looks like it won't
improve. We can't move them out right now as it is too wet to
work them, and I still have a lot of calves still on the cow.
Trying to put mother cows with a calf for a sale is difficult
since I don't have them tagged as to mother and calf. That
tagging just after birth is fine if you have calves that you can
catch and you don't have a leg brace and a bad knee. <br class="">
I put out fertilizer yesterday as I could get across the ground
and rain was forecast last night. The guy at the co-op did not
know that 3 ton of fertilizer is 6000lbs, fertilizer is sold by
the ton..... He only filled the spreader to 3000lbs. My wife
paid out so I did not pay attention to the bill.. After I got the
20 acre south pasture covered, I moved to the 2 5 acre wheat field
where I am trying to establish native grass and no-till wheat. I
got about 1/3 done and noticed that no pellets were on the
ground. Sure enough it was out. I rechecked the spreader
settings, and thought I had put 300 lbs/acre........ I pulled the
bill out of my back pocket and sure enough, it was 3200lbs....
The GPS said I had covered 30 acres, so the spreader calibration
was out as I wanted to apply 150 lbs/acre.. It rained last night
and it came fast and furious. A small flood. Hopefully it didn't
wash off. <br class="">
While we have the quarantine and the wet weather, I got my taxes
done before the deadline for the firs t time in 20 years!! Then
they extended the deadline. I have received a lot of parts for
the tractors. I have a larger hyd pump for the 8345 Belarus so
the loader will run faster. However, it is parked under the shade
tree where I was working on it in the fall. The shop has to be
cleaned out before I can get a tractor in to work on it. I need
the bobcat to clean it out, and it decided to leak the gas out of
the tank. I haven't found the leak yet, but 20 gallons leaked out
in a few days. <br class="">
I have new lights for the shop, as the halogens we put in when we
built are all burned out. It is 16 ft to the lights. A ladder is
just too risky for me now, The platform lift needs the cylinder
rebuilt, and the snorkel lift has a bad leak in the telescopic
cylinder. That one is 12 ft long, and has to be removed
outside.... Our local warehouse where we used to go for hyd
cylinder seals, just decided to quit servicing us little guys and
had a $100 minimum and a 3 day order process time. No walk in
trade is allowed. I bought an inside groove caliper last week so
I can order the seals from Hercules, hopefully I can get the
correct material etc... <br class="">
I spent a couple of the rainy days re-plumbing the house as we
have Polybutylene water pipes that the fittings are going bad. I
just have one bathroom to finish. I missed the class action suit
that gave $10,000 to each household for re-piping. I am replacing
with Pex.. I have all the tools now to plumb with Pex Pipe... <br class="">
Well, gotta go do some plumbing, it is still raining, hope the
fertilizer didn't all wash off......<br class="">
