Haying is between cuttings here, but farm work continues.

One herd of cows on pasture

A couple yearling hereford bulls that we put with some straight black cows. This is a first for us.

What I run around on most the time. I'm running 13 acre feet of irrigation water at the moment, meaning, I can cover 1 acre, 13 feet deep in water in 12 hours. I put 40 miles a day on my 4 wheeler between irrigating and checking 4 herds of cows.

Going to start cutting oats next week. Just round baling it for cow feed.

The needs repaired list. From the right. The 7800 needs an oil change. The small baler needs the knives sharpened. The round baler has a flashing light that doesn't work. The Case needs a hydraulic line fixed. The 720 has a power steering leak. The 4040 needs a new radio. The mower has a bolt broken off in the swing mechanism. The balewagon needs a new door latch, and a cylinder rebuilt. I'll start on those projects tomorrow.

Today is Sunday, which means play day, so I'll be in the shop messing with old tractors. Maybe I should clean it up some too?

I started farming with a 720D,bought a new 4040 in '80.you're like me,work em all week,play with the old ones one sunday!my shop looks like yours-no worries!By the way,great pics,Thanks,Steve
 
Not too much wrong with the equipment,most are probably easy fixes, nice shop and nice tractors. Thats a lot of rough riding on that atv,my aching back.
 
Are those beehives in the first pic? Leaf cutter bees for alfalfa seed? If they're honey bees, wonder what they're pollinating.
 
Honey bees. Sweet clover is the big target, but they work alfalfa fields too. They may not like it, but they'll do it. Plus just anything else they can find. I'm guessing they cover quite a bit of territory.

I try to relax a bit on Sundays, but sometimes things have to get done, and then I end up working. Nothing real pressing today.
David
 
13 feet, but that's the combined total of water being used over a number of fields. The one pictures is running 1.5 acre feet.

Dave,

Bees generally work a 2 mile radius, but that can change depending of food and water supplies.

Did you have time for church? What part of Wyo? I always think of Wyo as brown or mountains with little or no green. How wrong I am.
 
Whee!!!!!Ajmost thought you were going to have a flood! I use to pound I-80 across country in semi an never got bored watching the different ways farming is done an different irrigation ways.Yours looks efficiient way to use water as you dont loose so much as overhead systems do in that Wyoming dry wind.
 
I don't make church too often in the summer, due to about 3 hours of morning chores that have to be done regardless of the day. Wyoming is a big state and varies by region. Western Wyoming is fairly mountainous. I'm in Eastern Wyoming which is a high plain, and pretty flat. It's been a wet spring, so things are still green, but they'll turn brown fairly fast now that the weather has warmed up and dried out. The irrigated ground stays green all summer.
