[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1829337, member: 968"] With a "normal" year, we usually freeze down a foot (or more). Snow creates a nice warm bed for the cattle - and they (and us) stay clean. We have designed all but 1 of our winter sacrifice lots with a gravel feed pad that I reach over the fence with loader and fill feeders. The tractor driving around the winter lot made almost more of a mess than the cattle themselves. All the lots are ?? 3-5 acres. Cattle have lots of places to rest away from sloppy feed areas. But ---- they LOVE laying next to the feeders!!! Our 2-3 yr old pregnant group (pampered group) have the best most wind protection area, but we have to drive into their lot. They don't lay around the feeders because of the wind block tree ridge they have. Once we start calving, we have 6 winter paddocks. [/QUOTE]
