I watch a couple of places in Texas. One is a so called sanctuary, one is a beginning ranch that wants to specialize in Longhorns, one is only a two horse owner (he’s mostly politically inclined as well but he is very knowledgeable about horses.) The last is a newish hobby farmer in Alabama. And, I like to watch the cow trimmers because I took a horse shoeing course many years ago. The reason I watch, and am writing is two-fold. The paternal side of my family were all dairy (Guernsey) farmers in north-central Wisconsin. They no longer farm. I spent quite a bit of time there as a kid. As an adult I lived for a year on a dairy (Holstein) farm near the Illinois/Wisconsin border. I am only partially knowledgeable about farming. As you know the weather is rather extreme and bizarre this summer. The Texas farmers are entering a very difficult time now because of the lack of grass due to drought, and trying to help the animals survive the horrible extreme heat. I found that in Texas they don’t use straw for bedding as they do in Wisconsin. Instead they use hay for bedding! This struck me as so odd. So, this is just to tell you why I watch your videos and some others, who I am (sort of) and interest-wise, where I’m coming from.

Thanks the question, we don’t really have a problem with the heat, stay steady around mid 80 all summer ish, during the heat of the day it could reach temps of 90 to 95! We farm about 200 acres in total~. The wheat came up surprisingly good for how dry it has been this season, glad to have a great crop!
