Oh sassy, what cold wind blew you back on here? Day 2 of school cancelled. Day 2 of car not starting. Same thing that chased you on! Its too cold to work outside and all of the inside stuff has been done more than once, and I can't leave. Its like the Hotel California. It was either check...

There have been some head butting discussions on this board over this issue. I have always felt strongly that cattle should have access to water everyday. They can "survive" on snow, but it compromises their entire system from bringing down body temp, burning extra calories they need to go into...

Happy Birthday HD! :bday:

If the windchill wasn't so brutal you could always take the broom. Course when you don't have enough fingers to fill out a glove, hanging on might be an extra trick....

:lol2: Such a ferocious little fellow. Well perhaps, as in the video, it gives the rest of us something to laugh at.

Definitely beef calves, and preferably heifers. Whoever said he was going to get attached was right, I have done this with my kids as well. I have bottle raised literally countless bottle calves and the beef babies (hand down and calf after calf) are significantly hardier than the dairy...

Oh alison! I was so pleased to see you got your baby, but now I read this. I would not have even known where to begin to help her, but it sounds like you are doing all you can and a great job at that. Hoping we hear better news today, and all is well!

:lol2: Crack me up! Tomorrow's update will be "She looked at me sideways ~ I think this could be it!" ;-) Been there, done that Alison. Half the fun for them is keeping us stomping around pastures and peeking around trees. Good luck and carry on!

:? Same here! The insects are a bit smarter than the Canadian and snow geese who came back to Mn and are now standing around on the ice wondering where they are going to lay their eggs. I will be interested to see what people come up with!

Hmmmm...... low to the ground, not afraid of anything and prickly. I'm thinking if you were Native American the porcupine would be your spirit guide. :lol2:

:shock: What?? The whole thread is gone? Jesus take the wheel!! :roll:

We gave you Prince, Bob Dylan and MM, you gave us corn. Sorry about Al, I don't know what happened there. 0 degrees out this morning, so things are looking up. woowhoo. :roll:

-4F this morning. Day 4 of indoor recess for the littles. Mn still sucks.

Congrats on your new calf ~ BWF babies are adorable! Losing six calves is awfully tough! What happened?

Its 2 degrees this morning with a "feels like" temp of -19. Yesterday the windchill prevented our youngest kids from going outside for recess so they ran through the halls. The snow is so deep that no one has a mailbox anymore. I have been trying to keep my chin up, but Minnesota sucks.
