Thanks for the advice.

Calves look great. How do you like that mineral feeder?

Yeah, you are definitely in a nicer climate than here...most people are! At least calving in May, snow should be the exception for you and not the rule. This is two years in a row where we've had significant snowstorms in May, including the folks at lower elevations :shock:. I'm with you...

I don't believe a perfect calving season exists in our area, a back-up plan for extreme weather should always be in place...and hopefully the forecasts are correct. I remember when we calved mid-April into June one year, we got into extremely hot days towards the end, and newborns would...

Yes, the forecast was wrong for us as well. Never in a million years did I dream this amount of snow would fall. Our cattle were in a pasture with good shelter, but many didn't gather up and get into cover when the storm began. Like you, I never anticipated what was coming, or I would have...

It wouldn't have been worse calving in February/March in our area this year. We got over two feet of snow in this storm with terrible wind, and a huge area of southeast Wyoming is a mess. We came through in good shape so far, considering, and a lot of that I attribute to having an older, larger...

Wow, what a long day! That story makes you appreciate weather forecasting even more.

That's generally my policy too. However, I had one this year that was born in the morning, up and nursing. I went out after lunch to tag and turn it out, and it was standing up, breathing hard. The next thing I knew he collapsed, did the death bawl and croaked :shock:.

I just had one as well, and the outcome wasn't successful. I hope you have better luck.

Oh no, that's horrible news Shortgrass! I hope you have a smooth recovery. Those big bales can be so dangerous.

I use a red book too, but am trying the trial version of CattleMax. So far, I like it a lot but it requires an internet connection to work. I wanted something that would be on my ipad, phone, and computer, and something that would also be available on Jim's computer as well. I plan on entering...

Thanks H, I look forward to the trip every year. Thanks for taking us along :D .

I have worked lots around the Daniels set-up since my boyfriend is a vet, and processes a lot of cattle through his every year. You can back that thing up into questionable facilities, (trust me, he has seen it all), and still get the job done. The double feed works great since they walk in...

It is nice country in the summertime :wink:. I always tell people, if these cows ever found out how other cattle lived, they would go on strike. Lisa probably did see a moose, they are becoming more and more common up here :D.

If you were on I-80, east of Laramie, at the highest point, you were driving right through this place. Be sure to stop next time, we would like to meet you :-). Glad you had a safe trip, did you happen to hit any wind up here while traveling through ???:lol: The winds are clocking close to...

I am glad to hear you and others came through in good shape. My heart goes out to those who didn't have the same luck. I hope you don't encounter much fallout from such a stressful storm, and that your cattle health stays decent. What a mess.

Just awful. Has anybody heard from Justin?

Parts of Boulder got over 18 inches, we have had 6. More heavy rain forecasted for tonight through Sunday.

Get well soon Soapweed!

Yay! I am so glad to hear you are still getting good rains . :D . Yes, this country looks good. We will still have to come off the forest early, but at least grew enough grass at home to feed them something when the girls get back. We still plan on weaning heifer calves early september, and...
