Day 30 update on Bertha: last night's measurements came in at 127" circ., 84.5" end to end, 81" side to side. Total OTT of 292.5" for an estimated weight of 530 lbs. She put on 105 lbs. in the last 3 days, a 35 lb. per day average. All this with the ground being dry. I am watering her tonight to see if I can push her up to 40 lbs. per day. She is primed and ready for it, I am sure that she can handle it. I feel like I've been sitting on a racehorse that wants to win the Kentucky Derby and I've been holding back on the reins a bit. It's time to let her go and see what she can do - "put the coals to her" as Don Young might say!
