Couple cow circles

[gcreekrch]

Feeding pea and lentil screenings pellets to save some hay and put a little meat on the girls. Warmed up to -28 from -47 this morning by time I got there. My truck wanted to take today off and not start this morning. Moved tractors out of shop and rolled truck in, hour later we were rolling.

Looks good. They look to be in pretty fair shape already. Send that warm weather north please.

Will try to remember a photo of mature cows tomorrow.

Looks like a nice day with the sun out. I think I could handle that.
You talk Centigrade don't you Dave? That's my language.

Sure don't look like snow tires on that truck!

They are less than a month old. They are siped…… best traction you can get, set of triple chains behind front seat if needed. What should snow tires in Georgia look like?

It was a chilly one Ken, celcius or not! Warming up to snow for a few days now.

Look like snow tires to me?

I run Faulken.
I have 6 miles of gravel/mud roads to get to ranch. Not much snow here usually... But elevation challenges all tires when it's ice.

Good tire.....(in my humble opinion)

We were -27* F this morning with 20-25 mph wind after the big chill moved in yesterday. We didn't like it around here. Canadians have all my respect running cows in the cold.

Edit to add pic of cows working over a round bale of millet I rolled off the hill this morning.

All those little edges give way more traction on ice and snow than big knobs.

Mature cows. Warmed up to -24c today but have a raw se wind blowing and clouds.

The famous Pellet Puker. Will hold 3000 lbs of good quality pea and lentil pellets. Poorer grade will bulk out at about 2500 lbs

Looking at the pics that you, @Silver, and a lot of our members "up north" post was actually reassuring before I went out this morning. No, our cattle aren't acclimated to epic cold (and neither am I!!!), but they all have shelter, bedding, good hay, extra cubes and are doing great. Wind chill -40 this morning, up to -20 now and it's stopped snowing, the sun is out. Huge relief. And thank goodness we're not calving! I can deal with all the rest. Supposed to be in the mid 50's later next week. Welcome to KS!
