JP, aka Brown Sugar says hi. He will not allow me to hand cube him yet. But he will allow me to scratch his neck while he eats cubes on the ground.

JP is going to love you. I'm off later today for a mini bag (600 pounds as well) of oats for the deer.
haha the cows will occasionally push on feeders, no nuggets for them. The cows will not be in the back during hunting season. They will be able to return late January/February.

I really wish we could get some rain, I'd like to plant 5 to 8 acres in oats. The ground is like concrete right now.

Corn is healthy for cattle. Corn is NOT healthy for deer and hogs-they get lead poisoning!

Interesting facts about the surface layer, sedimentary rock where my farm is at here in Texas.

The Pliocene epoch was a time of global cooling and drying that occurred between 5.33 and 2.58 million years ago:

Climate
The Pliocene was a transition between the warmer Miocene and the cooler Pleistocene epochs. The average global temperature was 2–3°C higher than today, but carbon dioxide levels were similar. The climate became more seasonal, and tropical species decreased in number.

Sea levels
Global sea levels were 25 meters higher than today. The Mediterranean Sea catastrophically refilled after the African and Eurasian continents collided and closed the basin.

Faunal evolution
The Pliocene saw the evolution of elephants and Australopithecus. The first humans (Homo habilis) appeared in Africa near the end of the period.

Faunal migration
The formation of the Panamanian bridge allowed animals to migrate between North and South America. This event is known as the “Great American Faunal Interchange”.

Ocean circulation
The narrowing of the Indonesian Seaway and closure of the Central American Isthmus produced a modern pattern of ocean circulation.

Volcanic activity
The Columbia River and Snake River plateaus were formed by flood basalts in the Pacific Northwest.

Unloaded the oats yesterday afternoon and less than 2 hours later had some visitors where I put some out. These 3 are safe from lead poisoning. May go after a buck in a few weeks.

Yeah it didn't take 24 hours before I was invaded by piggies.

Sea fog this morning, a smidgen of moisture, I'll take it. It's drier than a popcorn fart here. A few drops coming off the roof.

Over 40 turkeys at the RV campsite this morning. What a great morning here in S. Texas! I'm waiting on the turkeys to pass through and a bobcat walks out from the bush towards the gate I just opened the gate a few minutes earlier. The bob came within 30ft from me.
