Fine Rains, Fine Foder
Last year at this time we had recieved only about 16″ of rain. So far this year our total is closer to 31″. This has made for much improved pasture conditions for the wild and the domestic. Mark Fagan sent this in of a healthy looking fawn looking for his/her share of grass. The deer population is by all reports doing fine after the drought stress of last year.
