Winter storms coming

[Dave]

Everyone is calving full blast right now. Hopefully no calves will be born those two days. Certainly not at night. I just told B that he better have his warming crates plugged in. He said he has two of them now. A person could cram three calves into each one if needed.

Cant get in to the ice fishing. I really only fish to ride on the boat and drink beer though. 😂

I totally agree. By the time I get a hole chopped in the ice big enough to put the boat in the water I don't give a damn if the fish
are biting or not.

Can't fish without beer. That is the only way to fish; done lots of that as a teenager.

With ice fishing - - you can skip the boat and spend more on beer.

We got a pretty nice WET snow. It's all gone now. Pretty nice til Tuesday again.

Then we get a cold front and possibly some more moisture of some sort.

@chevytaHOE5674 to heck with that!
Idk how ya do it!

Snow drought so far in NH this year. Maybe 3 feet so far. Fields are opening up.

Another weather update.

It's all bad. And calving kicked off here today, earlier than according to the gestation calculator. But that's rarely accurate. Although I do think it's appropriate that Uno was, once again, the first to calve (with her 7th calf, Seite).

Nice!
But your post is useless without pics!
🤣 😆 🤣 😂

Idk what weather we got coming but I hope all calves do well!

I just looked at the local forecast. The predicted high is 80° Monday, 82° Tuesday, and then we won't see 50° again until Saturday. Typical Texas winter weather.

Didn't occur to me to take a pic until after I had tagged/worked the calf and was already heading back to the barn. You know the adrenaline rush? And I had a ton of things to do in anticipation of the storm.

Hmm. We're what, 90 miles apart East to West? I just looked at mine and except for Monday (today) the highs this week are in the 50s, 60s and 70s. No really cold temps.

Yes, 90 miles to me is about right. Here's the 10-day forecast from the Bryan/College Station TV station, which is little further west and north. I find it difficult to believe the weather will be that different between the two places, so it will be interesting to see which one is closest to correct (I hope it's yours).

Not yet, but I did win a beer ski salom sponsored by Miller in my younger days.
You had to stop at every fourth gate and chug a beer. That takes an all-around athlete.

 

[Stocker Steve]

Getting lots of wind, 13" of snow, and then three nights of -20 to -25 F. Typical spring weather.

 

[D2Cat]

We're at 72 today and 27 tomorrow for highs.
