[QUOTE="creekdrive, post: 1413631, member: 21216"] Well - it's been awhile since I've been on here and actually have some spare time to post a few pictures. Calving season has gone well so far despite some crappy weather. Lots of cool wet snow/rain. Finally the last few days we have had a break (although there was another rain shower overnight) and the sun has come out and helped dry stuff out a little. Our calving pasture has more dirt than grass at this point. Just glad that so far we have been able to keep most of the calves healthy. Amazing how tough they are! I think it helped that the temperature never really fluctuated (just stayed between roughly -5C to +5C), so although they were cool & wet and miserable it wasn't as hard on them as it could have been with big temperature swings. Biggest problem is we just aren't used to dealing with so much mud! Better than a drought though. Anyway here's a few pictures. Some are from yesterday and some are from a few weeks ago.
