Went down last week and just could not believe the growth in some of the pens. Hornswaggled SIL #3 (he was all over it) and went down again late Thursday evening. Get this. The last time we put in protein was the last week of June and we only put in 40 bags then, a little less than half of total capacity and none of the feeders were topped off. Not much in each, but every one of the five protein feeders save for the one where the dadburn cows got in consumed all protein and cottonseed prior to breaking down one side of the pen. Had another pen set up a long time ago where it looks like a hog got in and then bent crap up on his way out. Stretched the barb wire tight there. They might not be hitting the pellets, but the cottonseed is taking a beating. it might not have been "easy, but the Shindawa did good. This one wasn't near as bad (ie: tall). We just want to be able to get in and not be as concerned about hidden buzzy tails.

Just got back from cleaning my campsite around the corner. Got the weed rating done in about 30 minutes. Then one of the deer hunters loaned me a sprayer full of roundup/remedy mix. Hopefully the sticker bushes will be all dead when I go back next month.

Spray it with glyphosate and kill that grass. Gonna be a banner year in parts of South Texas and a lot of the rest of the state too.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

If hogs are in the fields, we would not be able to see them, the grass is too tall. We see deer heads sticking out above the growth.
