That stinks try some Kerosene thats what I have used. Or rubbing alcohal.

or just scratch it til it scabs up, then scratch the scabs.

or, develop some immunity.

i've done it both ways. lol

i used to hold the rash under extremely hot water when it itched. seemed to help. don't know if it was because the brain can only receive one signal at a time or what.

Just had a rain shower pass through,about enough to settle the dust. I was hoping it would last a hour or so,it is dry around here.

I can't agree more it is dry for this time of year if it don't start raining soon going to have to start feeding hay or sell some cows.:frown::frown:

Dont even talk about it I am about two weeks away from doing one or the other and with a 30 percent hay crop I don't think it is going to be feed hay:msp_thumbdn:

Sell cows quickly and cull aggressively... They have good flesh and value now... Be pro-active and set aside the funds for replacement heifers when conditions change... I've been down this road 3 times now, and feeding hay in the summer is a bloodbath financially...

around here i think beef is way up.

around here i think beef is way up.

The prices are strong across the board, with regional differences of course... I could go into great detail all the nuances that affect SW Missouri and national beef prices, but one thing I've learned the HARD way... Never try to feed your way through a drought... Ranchers in southern Texas have known it for years... It's a land useage thing... Stock only what the pasture can sustain... And that depends on rainfall ammts..

MQ-1 Predator drone.

A.K.A. al Qaeda suppository insertion tool. It has two Hellfire missiles on the hard points underneath ready for dispensing.

Whiteman is one of the few places in the world where you will see a B-2 taxi to the hangar.

Sorry to hear about yalls drought. We got over 3 inches of rain in 2 days. Still dry for the average I think.

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

We aren't behind on rain but alot of the rain we had early came allat once and so fast it ran to the creeks and such.

 

[sunfish]

Driest May we've ever had here. If I had cows, I'd be sellin right now.

Bought another tractor 5 months ago for mowing. So far, not much mowing needed.
