Very wet here also Danny. Just some easy ones today that we could handle with the sprayers on the ATV and Utv.

Is that the Haywire Cattle Co at Marion that has the ridiculously successful ranch rodeo team?

I am going to try tomorrow afternoon. Ground is wet but hopefully with the sun and wind today it dried out enough. At least its better to start and it hardly burns than the ones that start it on a dry, low humidity, windy, warm day.

I talk to a old guy years ago and he said one of the problem with BLM land was they did not let the fires burn to get new growth.

No kidding?
I used to help your uncle Jerry when he was going big on the cattle swapping and had some large hay leases. As far as your uncle Mark we can BS for hours on end. He hooked me up with neighbors that needed a trapper. They were always good to me just as Callie was. Tell her Marlin said hello plz

Yay great thanks for all the smoke we get to breathe in again every year. Don't have to watch our kids suck that smoke in running their track meets this year I guess

Will do. I already showed her your post. I was teasing her about still being know as Callie's little brother even on MY trapping forum.

It's a natural as rain and wind buddy. It's what made the prairie the ecosystem it is.

I understand. Do you do that every year the same pastures? Or do you alternate somehow?

We got some more burns in today as well. Our biggest issue is being able to get firebreaks in. We normally use the Forestry Service, but they have shut down. Only have one guy at the office and one on call. Emergency service only.

Usually every 3 to 5 years once we have the pastures cleaned up for us. Some other people every year.

We surely had to cross paths sometime. I worked for both my uncles a lot and lived just a mile and a half from my uncle Jerry's farm
