[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 209361, member: 3739"] Winter was pretty mild up to January-February, then we got a good dump of snow, which didn't last too long. It's been mostly sunny up here around Edmonton and north to home, with the temperature mostly in the mid-teens (Celsius), though we did get a good downpour of rain just this past weekend. One of the calves got stuck in the mud up to his @$$hole and Dad nearly got the big tractor stuck trying to get this stupid steer out. He had to dig out a pit on both sides of the calf to give it enough room to fight its way out. It got out, even though I wasn't there to see how bad it was. Dad said that he had never had something like that happen, ever! The mud is also pretty slick and deep around the silage bunks that he's not even going to try to get near there, not until it drys up. Our corrals consist of half slough and half upper dry land, which is pretty crazy, considering that our farm is probably over fifty years old. But with the weather holding out up here for the past couple of days (supposed to be sunny and 16 C today in the city and 15 C at my home town) it'll dry out pretty good. Victoria-wish I could send the good warm sunny weather down there to dry things up! It sure would help. It's not good to hear of some flooding down there, (it's spring, what do you expect) so I wish you the best of luck and hope that you don't lose your place if it gets any worse. And to you folks down in TN, hope it clears up and you guys get out of it safe. You can replace a farm, buildings, cattle and such, but you can't replace a person be they man or woman. Good luck to you lot. Karin [/QUOTE]
