Winter storms coming

[MurraysMutts]

That'd be about right!
I walked out this morning to check on her. Cows are all lazily content chewing cud.
Must be some kinda gentle.
The calm b4 the storm!

It's downright chilly here, somewhere around 10 above. It looks like we are going to be in a deepfreeze for the entire week.

Least it's supposed to get up to 37 today. Wind is ferocious! 16 degrees And she did it... right out in the middle of nowhere. Calf seems ok. Ellie Moo seems angry. I didn't get close this morning.

RafterS, it's right at 93 miles from my house to Producers in Bryan. Via Pumpkin, New Waverly, Richards, Roans Prairie to north Bryan. drove it lots of times and that's my easiest route.

I respect anyone that can live in that much less keep cattle in good condition. It's 61 here and mine are grazing. Snow hasn't covered the grass all winter for a full day. Haven't chopped ice either. Think I will stay here.

You need a snow fence, at least one maybe more, upwind.

When the wind blows 50+ mph straight from Canada for 3 days straight no amount of snow fence will help.

He took a half a bottle this morning.
Another quarter at lunch time.
I'm afraid he's gonna lose some of his pretty lil ears tho

It was -14F this morning, and had a calf that decided to come into the world this morning; I think it was about -9 when he was born. We didn't get much snow out of this last storm, and at least there was no wind when he was born. He is looking like he is doing good.

I remember many times in the Wind River Valley the temperature inversions with it being -20 to -30 down in the bottoms and +30 on South Pass or up by Dubois. We were around 55* Sunday and been at 0* in the day and -10* at night since Monday afternoon. First calf heifers due March 6 - they are penned up next to the barn just in case. Looking forward to +15* tomorrow and in the 50s by the weekend. Hope the heifers hold off til it's warm and sunny.

Yes we need some wind to blow it out. Monday is looking like it is going to be in the mid forties.
