The March rainfall in Tehama County was hit and miss. On Monday the 26th I recorded 0.2 tenths while the Gallatin Ranch west of Red Bluff had two inches and their creeks and ponds were bank full or filling. For the month, we measured 3.55 inches of rain, and most of it came just before the scheduled Field Day.

The ranchers in Indian Valley, Genesee and Taylorsville, Plumas Co. have had 7 mountain lions killed this year after they had lost pets and livestock. One after this one was killed. Alicia Knadler, Indian Valley editor, wrote the following story in the March 27 Lassen County Times.
