Got to love it when someone's had the paintbrush out making wispy clouds.

Got super lucky in the genetic dice rolls. Two slick gene Holsteins for my heat tolerance project.

And suddenly it's very wet. Flat country floods easily, about 50mm, most of which hammered down in an hour yesterday arvo.

The other half gets a bit worried when I go through this gate. The tyre roller doesn't fit though.

39C yesterday, 30C overnight, under 20C now. I think I've got whiplash.

At least the ryegrass is going to be happy, the paspalum shuts down at a sniff of cool weather.

We're bloody melting this week, next week is more reasonable.

39 tomorrow, then a cool change. About time.

The only upside of the dust is cool photos using the sunlight in the mornings and evenings.

I take little videos of things for non farming friends just to show it's not that hard to drive "big" machinery.

The 4440 and seeder is medium at best, but certainly big for this farm set up.

The corners in the smaller night paddocks are tight, the main irrigation channel causes triangles.

One of the best parts about running around at all times is the cracking photos I get around the farm.

Cows that are almost 15 years old are permitted shenanigans.

Scritches, brought to you by Milwaukee 😂

Summer tried to do another "too warm" day today.
Decent sunset at least.

Seed go brr

Tetila, shaftal, sub clover @ 27 kgs

I'm a bit of a dinosaur and very much against too many computers in tractors, the right to repair shenanigans are problematic.

The JD 4440 also has the best seat. It's as good as the old faithful couch in the house.
