I just got word that our place southwest of Hext got 5.2 inches last night. They received 5 inches at the Hext Trading Post at 29 and FM 1221. The bigger hail was north of Hext and south of London. Another big storm cell is forming now from Angelo and headed for Eden, Brady and Menard.

I have two acres of that stuff on my land that I need to turn I to a yard
How do you do it?
Was told to keep cutting it and it'll smooth out but lots of weeds grow in it now
I want to throw down some k31/rye/centipede mix

The deer are hammering the cottonseed so we topped the cottonseed feeders off as well as the protein feeders. We ended up getting another 0.5in of rain this past weekend which puts us at 6in for the month of May. We got enough to fill the ponds, fill the San Saba river and make everything green...I hope it continues.
Here are some pictures from the weekend:

Big Pond_6-1-2018
The big pond is still full. Last year it filled up and we noticed a leak on the dam which trickled water constantly. I'm not sure how it's not leaking but somehow it isn't leaking anymore. Here are some pictures. It's around 80 yards wide by 140 yards long right now. We had a john boat on the bank about 30 yards above the pond and it somehow got washed away in the big rains a couple of weeks ago. We haven't been able to find the boat so it's probably at the bottom of the pond. We are hoping one day we will be able to drill a well to keep this pond at a constant level. Here are some pictures:

It's been very hot out there lately and everything seems to be drying up prett quickly out there. The last time we received any rain was on May 20th, so things are starting to turn brown out there.
We put out another load of cottonseed and cleaned out all of the water troughs. They are really hammering the protein.
