My replacement heifers are on the other side of the road - darn good thing the bulls weren't snortin' & bellowing along the fence like usual!greybeard":178ccwve said:You can bet that fence got pretty dang electrified for a millisecond too. Good thing no one was working on it at the time. bt..dt.
That pic is like nothing I've ever seen. Sure glad no cows or humans were hurt.We've actually had the electric co install some protection devices after lightning damage at neighbors, but it wasn't anything like that. I'm still cleaning up from storm.TCRanch":14vuqjd1 said:
We have surge protectors on the house - worth every penny with our nasty storms! BTW, get ready for another round, starting Wed.reeler":al3ti2u2 said:That pic is like nothing I've ever seen.

Possibility of severe storms tonight for most of eastern KS, nice Mon & Tues but storms picking up again Wed. We needed the rain but enough, already!D2Cat":2crm6smc said:I thought the weather man said rain tonight, nice for 5 days?
Like D2, I had heard "nice for 5 days", & was relieved.Now we're in red on weather channel, like you said.I've still got 2 babies due anytime,in fact 1 cow is acting weird today. Storms supposedly have an effect on cows giving birth, but it's kinda like the weather forecast-who knows :kid:TCRanch":1kzt84z3 said:Possibility of severe storms tonight for most of eastern KS, nice Mon & Tues but storms picking up again Wed.

Looks like my area has been downgraded to just 40% t-storms tonight (not severe). It's a pretty good bet they'll calve at the worst possible time. Heaven forbid they seek shelter at the barn :roll:reeler":2fgs1ci2 said:Like D2, I had heard "nice for 5 days", & was relieved.Now we're in red on weather channel, like you said.I've still got 2 babies due anytime,in fact 1 cow is acting weird today.
