We are having a very green summer this year. Except for our "flash drought" in July and part of August, there have been regular rains and the pastures are lush. It is still hot and humid (always) and will be until about mid-October when we have a few dry autumn days (usually).
This year's replacement pullets have started laying and eating full tilt. I'm glad that they have plenty of pasture to graze and hunt on so that the feed bill is spared.
Two starving mares have joined my herd of pensioners - well not yet, they need a lot of special care to get them ready for that. Their owner died and they have been fending for themselves for a few years until rescued recently. There was some doubt that they could be rehabilitated but we're giving it a try, and I think they will be fine - eventually.
Anyone else out there with farming news? How about you
@AnnaZ?
