Haven't checked cows for a week or so- and while I knew they had some snow to survive on- went to the north pastures (about 30 miles south of the border) to check their water situation...
While some of the snow has melted- and the major water holes frozen over-- the creek/spring is running good..
Definitely enough snow they could still survive on snow if the water table wasn't up-- but sure nice to see it is and they can get water from the springs...
Snowing last night-few snowshowers today- but ground is still pretty bare.. Most has been going south and west of us...State report says Red Lodge has a foot of snow on the ground....Doesn't look like we will pick up much this next week--but they are saying the first arctic front by the weekend- and below 0 temps...
Hopefully our snow will hold off and I can run on these pastures til Dec.--before moving the cows to the river bottom hayfields...
