I wonder what for responses you would have if they had to come help you feed in the dead of winter. I just bet you would have some people here backtracking. Me I could come next summer, ya that would work, next summer.

Thanks Colin
We put all our hay up in small squares. Selling horse hay is our main business and back yard horse people seem to prefer them. Besides I've heard round bales are bad for cattle and horses because they need a square meal.P.A.L":2wtb44r1 said:Wow, i like colorado! A handy small bale collector. Never seen one before. Do you use roundbalers?

I've had the privilege of visiting Ned's place - in the middle of summer. Ned's a great guy , has a great family, great cattle, and the scenery in the valley is about as close to heaven as I could imagine.
After several orations from me about what a LUCKY guy Ned was and how he was living MY dream of ranching in the Rockies, Ned showed me his calving barn.
Realizing that Ned calved in early March, when the temps there can be well below zero, sobered me up a bit. Then Ned told me that his "dream" was to actually have hot running water in his calving barn in the winter. He didn't at that time. Having helped a few cows calve in Texas when the temperatures were sub-freezing, I can only imagine how COLD your hands must feel after helping out a cow in that kind of weather.
Ranching in the summer Texas heat suddenly didn't seem so bad!
