Feels like -27F here today. National report says coldest and most snow since 1978-79, and worst hit area in the country is right here. Have had 75 days of below -22F so far this winter. Had 4 days of blizzard last weekend -40F with a 35 mph wind that made it feel like -65F. Had one fall steer calf that decided he had enough and clocked out. Laid down and never woke back up. Found him under a 2' snow drift. Neighbor lost a cow at the same time. Amazing we haven't lost more this winter.
Banks are getting good size around here. That is an 8' elk fence behind the bank. County grader can't move the banks back anymore. Have had a 250 Doosan payloader going around digging the banks back.
Some of last years May calves and a couple older heifers.
The solar motion-controlled watering system I installed in October, drawing from the pond we dug last year. Has just hummed along this entire winter. Another one is going in this year in another spot and I am eventually replacing all the electric water bowls with it.
