[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 614863, member: 3937"] This is a true story. About 15 years ago on rented land. A heavy early snow fall, I hauled cattle home. Had a half dozen cows that wouldn't load that day and we got more snow and wind. Had a row of bales and opened the gate. I thought, let the wind die down and I would plow out and get the cows home in a couple days. It was tough but I chopped a hole in the pond for them to water [the only source] The cows didn't like the idea of going the 8th mile to get it. One thing led to another and the cows stayed there all Winter and went back on grass on the Spring. All six calved, raised calves and when I brought the others over in the Spring there was no noticeable difference in condition. It takes a good part of the cows day, but they will get all the water they need out of the snow. [/QUOTE]
