Overcast with light winds turning soft and calm. Perfect weather for ranch work. Cows stay put, and more progress on new paddock fences in North New Griffith.

Mild with light drizzle at evening and completely calm. Drove to Lewistown to work in water rights for last two wells drilled. Cows are drifting into WL1. Heading for the trees in East Lackey.
Cloudy and mild. Trailed cows in from NG7 to corrals to vaccinate, weigh,, and count calves. 304 cows, 275 calves (122H and 153S), average calf weight 454#. 3 cows with 5 doctored calves on corrals on hay. 1 heifer calf (161) died-mystery. Moved cows into lane going to Lackey SBW9.
Still very nice. Tested well in NNG in trees. We seem to have a recharge problem. Stay tuned.
Shirt sleeve mild. Cows break out. Ryan and I got animals before dark.
Almost too pleasant. We determined well was not working at capacity, and chose to move cows back into NG7.
Mild with some morning wind. Fought with pumping water all day. Bulls broke into cows, Cows broke into the adjacent paddock, probably due to the bulls fighting. Things straightened out by evening, with ok water.
Overcast and pleasant. Lost our water storage resulting from not paying attention. Just barely had enough water for the day.
