That might actually work good as a toboggan, if you wrap it tight and aim downhill. Spraying with water might help, depending on how steep the hill is.View attachment 12831
Welding leather. Works good until they get wet, but spraying them with a water repellant helps.
Seems like you'd use a stocking headpiece to rob a bank.They used to called sock caps around here.
Toque. Pronounce TUKE, like NUKESock hat or stocking hat 'round here.
I'm glad it turned out okay for momma and baby, I thought it would be a couple of months early for you to be calving.we got freezing rain a week ago.. you know what's worse than 6"of snow on ice? 1/4" of snow!! you have no idea what you're stepping on, you hit a slick spot and you're on your arse... I landed on my shoulder and I'm feeling it.. we had about 6" of snow that didn't melt,some rain into it, then froze, it was about 15F and the cows could nearly walk on top of the snow... Of course it's a perfect day for a heifer to have a calf.. 16 days before due and neither is too bright, but I got them going now

I didn't know until a few years ago that a toboggan could also mean a sled, when a yankee that worked for me told me. I was talking about wearing my toboggan and he says "you're going to wear a sled?" I didn't have a clue what he was talking about. We never had weather appropriate to own a sled other than one you pulled around behind the 4 wheeler when it snowed which sometimes was a car hood.So I think I understand now why it is you southern folks have a hard time with cooler temperatures. A toboggan will not provide any insulating value whatsoever, and I can only imagine how awkward it would be to try to wear one.

French?Toque. Pronounce TUKE, like NUKE

Y'all got a pretty good snow looks like, we got mostly sleat. I'm just glad we didn't get freezing rain. I got the generator running just in case and bought extra fuel for it.Same!
But opposite. Until just recently when this thread explained it.
Been playing in the snow a bit. Tried to pull a neighbor out. Got stuck myself.
I told myself, now self this ain't gonna work. Did it anyway. Fortunately another good neighbor drives the grader....

Bessie and Ellie Moo are still holding tight! I put plenty of hay out. Sunshine today. I told them, you may proceed now....
I would guess so. Probable came over with the Coureur de Bois to North America. Out of curiosity, was that part of your / our history taught your school?French?
My heifer let go last night-missed the blessed event within the span of two one hour checks. Little tyke didn't want to get out of its warm nest this morning, but mama woke her (?) up quite well.Same!
