[QUOTE="rodderz, post: 849162, member: 16805"] No I didn't have to leg-rope her, she was fairly quiet. Grass cover is ok, it's a very wet farm and we struggle this time of year for feed at times. I am due to do a pasture walk but it will be around 2100, I am guessing. We were a bit light on supplements this year, but the favorable weather earlier on meant we were grass only for a good while. We will start feeding PKE soon as well. We don't start calving officially until August 1st, but have had 5 or 6 calve already. We also feed Proliq through most of the season. Regarding the weather, I have lived and worked in this area most of my life. It is normal every 3 or 4 years to have a light sleet or snow in really cold conditions. It normally melts away almost immediately. This morning when I got up we had a good 3 or 4 inches of snow! A lot of it is still lying there tonight. Very tough on the cows, both mobs had shelter thank goodness. My kids thought it was pretty cool though. [/QUOTE]
