Must be breeding season...

Postby redcowsrule33 » Wed Jul 04, 2012 12:45 pm

Just got in from implanting CIDRs in the heifers and cows. Heat index is 100 F. Thought I was gonna die. Cows took it well though. I had to keep reminding myself as to why I'm doing this now, and that is to avoid snowdrifts during calving season. Hopefully the heat breaks by the time the CIDRs come out (supposed to be down to the chilly 80's by this weekend). I don't know how you southern folks do it. Weather like this all summer would force me to move to Canada.

Stay cool everyone!
The root cause of the majority of the problems in the world today is that common sense is no longer a prerequisite to staying alive.

I'm starting to think snowbirds may be onto something.

Yeah I was raised there. But wife is whining about the heat here now. She's finally concluded that having 4 seasons sucks when one of them is snow and one is horrible heat.
