After this past week, you better just get some more socks and some flannel-lined jeans. Because this is January yet.  The only good thing about that, is we made it through November and December already!

 

So get something warm to drink and visit the ranch for 5 minutes.

 

We went to town again today, The sun has melted the snow on the road but you can see what the sides look like.  This snow is settled some from when the Chinook came through.

 

What is a Chinook?

 

Tuesday morning it was -10, by noon it was 30.  That is because the wind was blowing 45 mph with warm air from the west.  We wait for those to come through after it has been cold, like Mother Nature turned up the furnace.

 

Life on the Ranch

The cows did good with the bale grazing plan.  And we didn't have to start the feed truck on those below 0 mornings.

 

We trailed them to a new pasture this morning.  They were excited and have new grass to eat.  We haven't grazed that pasture since before calving last spring.

 

 

The heifers think they are at an all-inclusive resort!

 

 

This is a windbreak with a roof over part of it, they have some dry barley straw to lay on. We haven't grazed this pasture since June, so they have grass to eat besides the grass hay we feed them, and they get some developer pellets every morning.

 

Even though the yearling heifers are bred they are still growing along with the heifer calves we just weaned, they both need the extra supplement, 1/2lb of protein each day.

 

The steers are wondering what happened to their hay when it gets snowed on.  I have to turn it over and get the snow off, then fluff it up for them.  Another couple snows and I hope they get that figured out.
