It is dry with no rain forecast for the next wek.ut temperatures will be nice, Mid 70's to low 80's day, around 60 at night. We will have to keep up the daily watering for now. I made measurements this morning, 3 days after the first measurement. 359 Foss is 33 DAP est weight 418 gaining 25# per day, 1928 Globus 34 DAP est 381# gaining 19 # per day. 1494 Witter-Benson 28 DAP est 268# gaining 16$ per day. 1692 McMullen 30DAP est 268# gaining 22# per day.I know these aren't fantastic numbers, but the 359 and 1928 are way ahead of any we have had at this date in the past. Even the smaller ones are on a pace to beat our personal bests. I just hope they are getting to the stage where they will really kick up the growth pace. Some rain and slightly warmer night temperatures would help. This is more like early September weather than August.
