[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 662493, member: 5106"] Lol Colin, in places where they have temps in the -30 or -40's for long periods at a time nothing grows. Our growing season is only 4 months at best but you would be surprised at how fast it grows and how lush the fields and pastures become in a matter of days. As soon as the pastures get going the cows will be off the field they are on and moved, they will not be back there until next November at the earliest.. We do not let our cows graze year round, there are fed hay in the winter ,and they come off winter feed very well. Even in an extremely cold winter like this past one as well as last years.. The pics without snow were the day before where we finally had some nice temps in the 20's and then it dropped to -5 and snow. We are at least 2 weeks later than last year for the growing season. Hopefully this moisture will get things going and the expected high temps on the weekend as well will get things in the right direction. It is raining again today and only +5c. [/QUOTE]
