Had a nice field visit with a local veterinarian/ producer today. He gave me a tour of his ranch. He is doing a great job of land stewardship and grazing management.

Random windmill picture. A big fan of windmills and how they provide water for life.

Assisted landowner with a new water well for his livestock operation, told him our specs require an enclosure around the well to protect it from damage a week later he sends me the other picture. Above and beyond the specs. Great job!

Another year of prescribed grazing by the cattleman, another year of awesome results. Doing a great job of adequate stocking rate and rotational grazing. Key grass is native Little bluestem.

Thank God for this much needed rain. This sub soil moisture will help kick start warm season grass growing once we get into warmer temperatures. Start planning now for fertilizer applications and weed control management on pasture and hayland. #washingtoncountytexas #grassfarmer
