Day 51 Snow on February 20th
We have so much snow! It was gorgeous yesterday and just like spring. Woke up to a regular blizzard and at least 6 inches of the white fluffy stuff. There was a brand new little dripping wet calf in the corral that I had to put in the shed quick. I am sure he is going to be fine. I don’t know if there were any more new babies out in the big herd on the hill or not. My helper, Ron, is taking care of the calving this year. I am trying to not worry and take it easy. Son, Carl, tells me that I have earned a break. You can see in this photo where we need to drive through the pasture to check on calving cows.
please post pictures of baby cows. pleaaaaase!
Carl is right – you do deserve a break. Ron is doing a great job. Sit back and enjoy the break and enjoy it.
No snow here. Bright, sunny skies and it is supposed to be in the 40s this week. Still a lot of snow on the ground from December, though. It was a record setting month and it’ll be a while before it all melts. The big girls start softball soon. They’ll be practicing in the gym for a long while yet. Even when all the snow melts the field will be a mud bog for quite some time.
Hugs,
