I've seen a few of you guys post pics feeding in the snow and ice, looks daunting. In the interest of fair representation, thought i'd post a few from florida. We're up in the panhandle, had down to 24 for 2 days, warmed back up, back into the 70's now. Rye/ryegrass looks good this year, dry though.

Grass looks good, but I'm wondering if your grass is like the wet parts of Texas are........where a cow can graze 24 hours a day on it, and still starve to death?

Thanks for sharing the pics!

Rye and Ryegrass usually come in around 18pct CP and 60's for TDN. Layman, cows adding 2-3 lbs a day carrying calves. Tagged and weighed most of the calves in the pictures yesterday, with most 120-160 lb calves adding from 1.8 to 3 lbs a day, most gaining just over 2 lbs a day,14 day period. Couple of 350 heifers gaining over 4 per day!

makes me wonder what the hay I am doing living in the winter country?
However, there is nothing like the feeling of a hot coffee on a cold winters day after chores.

LOL we like coffee after a cold winter day too here in the south. Just cuz we don't have -93 (that was for NR) LOL don't mean we don't like our coffee.

Great pictures. Grass and cattle both look great.
We've been havin about the same temps.....few nights down in the 20's, but we are back up to 70 to 75 degrees durin the day. Makes me almost like winter. Razz

That's a pretty good looking patch of ryegrass. With the lack of rain in the fall, we didn't get a very good stand this year. I always like seeing cows grazing green grass in the winter.

Nice pics...the cattle sure look good!

And, babies, you're so lucky to have calves! That won't occur for at least three more months for us...so I guess I will live vicariously through your pics.

When is your normal calving season? I presume most Floridian cattle are fall or winter calvers, is this true?

Cool! Thanks for sharing...don't think you'll have a white Christmas, and at this pace we won't either! 45 degrees here and it RAINED last night. Now, that an oddity for the Dakota prairie in December!

Cheers---
