[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 754123, member: 8973"] bear, we get maybe 3 snows per Winter with them remaining as ground cover for a week to 10 days. Usually the snows are under 8 inches deep. We also have ice storms. It is the ice storms that create grazing problems. With the snow the cattle will push the snow aside and eat the stockpiled grass beneath. If the situation is such that the ice possibly will melt within a day or two to where the cattle can get to the grass I do nothing as I keep the herd in good body condition. We rarely get to as low a temperature as 10F. I do keep 50 rolls of hay for extreme emergencies. I could make those last for around 16 days if necessary. This hay is many years old they may not eat it at all. The cattle will not eat hay if there is a chance at all they can get to the stockpiled grass.
