Whats your weather like today?

[Rustler9]

I guess you folks do get used to it but I don't know if I'm tough enough to try to endure those kinds of temps. We've had alot of 50 and 60 degree days with lows of 30's and 40's at night then we got down to some 15 and 16 degree nights and that was awful. My hat is off to all ya'll in these frigid climates. Do you let your stock run out all the time or try to keep them in barns?

Its kind of a dry cold we get here.
My stock runs out all the time, I have a couple open faced sheds facing south . Thats the extent of my calving facilities, have not had much use for them lately.We have moved to late spring ,early summer calving.

Last yr we used them for a dozen head or so. bull got out while we were away.And the guy looking after things could,nt seperate him.

Cows winter on my hayfields, hid in or behind the trees when it gets nasty out.Key thing is somewhere for them to get out of the wind.

Were your cows grazin' today? ;-)

 

[CKC1586]

Nope, they have been off the pasture since late November and are in the "winter" lots and the pairs are up by the barn. Only grazing they get to do for a while longer will still be at the hay rings. Hopefully we will get an early spring! Of course we hope that every year...
My cows are at my brothers (2 1/2 hours south of me) until I can get my home in Northern Michigan sold and my house and barn built on my property down there. Sure do miss seeing them every day...

 

[cowgirl580]

Maybe in the sunshine state, but what about FL?

[D.R. Cattle]

Last time I looked at my license plate it said "Sunshine State". Are the prisoners that stamp them out playing tricks?

 

[dun]

I thought it had been changed to the Hurricaine state or the blue haired yankee state

dun

 

[ffscj]

Dun, it is the "blued hair yankee state" but that's one of the few things that hasn't been put on a license plate yet.
