Ol’ Sol has been working and we have mud. Wonderful glorious mud! I know, most people don’t like mud, but mud means warmth and snow going away and creeks and dams getting full, so I like mud. Give me a few weeks of it and I probably won’t be so high on it! I saddledContinue reading “Warm and wet”

It finally started snowing about 4 yesterday afternoon.. of course the wind blew… not sure how much we got but ai think most of it blew down south east of us. We had all the livestock behind protection and fed.. went out this morning and fed again.. seems they all survived..as far as blizzards go,Continue reading “Blizzard 3/14/19”

Supposed to get up to 40 some today and then late tonight, early tomorrow a blizzard stating.. looks like about a foot of snow and gust up to 60 mph or so.. sure am glad we have some shelter for the livestock to get behind… I will feed some hay this morning and then againContinue reading “Blizard?”

4:30 pm and I just got in from plowing snow.. wind is still blowing, but there is water and mud on the road! Amazing what just a little warmth can do. Supposed to warm up and stay that way for the next few days.. praise the Lord!

Snow (maybe 3 or 4 inches so far) and wind (probably 20 some mph now and getting stronger)… someone said they called they a “spring storm” instead of a “winter storm”… hmm..according to the calendar it is still winter for a few more days, so evidently somebody doesn’t know what they are talking about… goContinue reading “Snow and Wind”

No, not real windy, just a lite breeze of 40 plus mph… couldn’t really call it a wind.. of course when it does do that and we have lows, below zero, sure takes lots of feed to keep cattle going, out in it.. our livestock all have protection to get behind, shelter belts and manContinue reading “Windy?”

Had a couple day of 20 some temps.. no wind yesterday, to speak of.. quite a country where your excited when it gets up in the 20’s! We had a few calves get back with the other bunch of cows awhile back, so we got them I this morning and sorted them off and gotContinue reading “Warmer”

Water was froze up again this morning in the old ouse.. somebody, who shall remain nameless, forgot to put a heat lamp down there… but we got it thawed. The tank the cows have been watering out of has been running real slow.. I finally had a thought maybe there was a screen it itContinue reading “Still brrrr….”

We got the cows in that been running out on pasture and went thru’ and sorted the ones getting thinner off, Sao they can go with the calves and cows getting a full feed. Dang, seems like this winter and cold is hanging in there.. Chances kids helped us sort and them boys are gettingContinue reading “Cow work”

While feeding yesterday, Chance and I found and brought home a smaller, late summer/fall born calf who was obviously not feeling well.. we loaded him in the loader bucketing brought him home.. only warm place I could think of was in the mud room, so we unloaded him on the front deck/porch and Chance drugContinue reading “Outstanding!”
