brutal

Yesterday the weather was brutal. Sideways rain, heavy winds and a bit of lightening and thunder too!

The cattle don't care. It seems like the worse the weather the happier they are, as on a day like that the herd is not bothered by flies or other insects.
Without that distraction they can eat more!

We remember that on freezing cold days or when riding a motorcycle or working as a cow wrangler in heavy brush humans wear leather. As protection from the elements because it is such wonderful protection. So as the cattle are grazing and we are whining about our working conditions it helps to remember how tough their hides are! And any fly free day is a day they stuff themselves full of green stuff.
