Weather: Cold front blows through leaving barely a trace of new moisture.
Corrals: 10 light calve + 4 culls in corrals. Added 15 bulls. Full feed straw. WG6: Cows (416 includes some dries) Notes: Just one move today. I made some overestimations of projected ADs/acres for splits the last two days and left some patches of coarse feed. Interesting that green needlegrass, one of the ranch’s best producing grass species can become “wolfy” or undesirable if left ungrazed too long.
