Big rain, 3 inches in 20 minutes on the north pastures and surrounding neighbors' ranches. This caused the sand canyon to flood with water reaching 6 foot deep. Unfortunately do to the roads in that area crossing the ranch we had 6 fences wiped out. Fortunately we did not have cattle in these pastures having moved the yearlings to near the buildings the day of the rain for marketing this week. If the steers had got on the road during the storm or after they could have traveled many miles and been difficult to locate.
