[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 829947, member: 7509"] I wish there was some way we could average out the weather. Snow wet and cold in Wis today. Much, much wetter in MN and the Dakotas with a lot of ground in E ND & SD that may never dry out enough this spring to plant anything. Folks around here are running out of hay. Even though there was a lot put up last year, much of it was baled damp and not good keeping quality. We had a change in the weather in WI lows in the 20's and 30's (F) for the next week with snow and rain and cold wind almost every day. I have been wrestling with whether or not to move calving back a week or two from the mid March start this year. With this cold spell it's nice to be done calving except for one purchased Huth heifer that isn't due for a week or so yet. Here are some pictures from today in SW Wis. I did a calf count this afternoon and kept coming up short so really had to look around. Calves tucked in lots of places protected from the wind, sleet and cold.
