[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 1388163, member: 7398"] We're getting 30 mph winds now off lake michigan which always dumps the snow. It was raining a couple days ago 50 degrees two days ago so all the snow was gone but the mud was over my boots in places. Then it froze. I was hoping it would stay froze but the last few days have been warmer so it all melted again. Now it's snowing and supposed to be good and freezing cold tomorrow which normally would take care of the mud, but the snow ironically insulates the ground so no matter how cold it gets, the mud will never freeze. A week ago we had 16" of snow on top of 16" of mud. The cattle can all get to some stable ground but the tractor's gonna rip they living shyt of out things taking hay out. If I had shelters they would become maintenance nightmares with the mud and wallowing though too. Now they get to where they won't come up for water because they take to drinking up all the muddy hoof holes out there. Gives the calves coccidiosis. Who knows. See who's alive tomorrow.... [/QUOTE]
