anthrax updates for Sutton and valverde

[DaveC]

I received .08 this morning. At less that’s what my weather station said, it felt nice and cool having breakfast on the porch.

Besides it being naturally dry out there....is rain what we are hoping for to wash the spores away?

My LO is finding them dead.

Ours has found axis and dead audad. Corn piling up under feeders. It’s going to be a rough season.

Just talked to our LO and it looks like we are wiped out. It’s a sad day.

Where are you at, approximately?

Any Valverde reports from down 1024 out of Comstock?

Man that sucks bad. If there's a bright side you can take your boat with the new transom out fishing all winter! It's usually great! Just fix them 2 folks in Arp a sack lunch for the days your gone![emoji2]

I haven't heard anything dead on our place but there was 2 dead goats at the gate when we pulled up but who knows if that was anthrax or goats busy looking for a place to die.

I think we need some rain but not too much. I chatted with feed store owner at Speer Ag in Uvalde Saturday and he suggested that rain would be good. He mentioned that the ground cracks open during drought and exposes anthrax spores that were buried. Rain keeps the ground from cracking open.

But once the ground is cracked open, heavy, drought-breaking rains during an outbreak will cause rapid plant growth. The plants will grow in those cracks bring the anthrax spores up out of the ground where the famished animals will consume them. Seems to me like some rain, but not too much, and cool weather is what we need. That and the grace of God. Lets pray this outbreak ends quickly.

Sorry to hear about all this happening again.

I did a lot of googling on anthrax today... probably on an FBI list now.

About 25 miles south of Ozona -- went out to check feeders and cameras yesterday. I didn't see any dead deer, but the corn was piling up under the feeders, so I turned them off. Didn't see any deer on the cameras. I guess I'll go back out 2nd weekend in September to look at cameras again, to assess filling / turning on the feeders.

Man...this is just heartbreaking. A tragic **** deal all the way around

Pulling cards this weekend and will post update. 25miles S. Of Ozona off 163.

Up to 90 found dead on our place, few fresh ones including a mature 150s recently found. My stomach hurts
