The bucks are faring better than I expected in this heat. Tomorrow we are forecasted to hit 105- air temp followed by 107 on Monday and back down to 103 for Tuesday. We are not working them, just keeping a close eye on everything.
Below I have posted our mesonet weather data for July. We are going to fecal test and FAMACHA score the bucks the week of the 11. Hopefully, temperatures will moderate some and we will see some rain.
The forages are faring as well as can be expected and are holding out but without rain in the near future we will see how it fairs.
Please look at the photos in the photo album entitled July 2008 and I will post again next Saturday.
