Looks like ya have some snow! Bet the cows were happy to see ya. Are they rustling for feed out and about or is it covered up? And do ya ever hang up a nice young yearling for camp meat? :wink:

The cows are out rustling for some pickin's but I am feeding hay as well. The processor tractor was gone for a couple of days so today I just rolled out some bales with the loader.

OH no we would shoot out of season. :wink: :wink:
 
Our temps were over 70 today and is the water ever running. I wish the ground would thaw so some of it would soak in. Hey BMR is that amount of snow normal for your area or did you get more than your share this winter?

I think we got a little more then normal but we had the coldest winter is 30 years they are saying, so we still have the snow we started with. It also seemed to drift in differently this winter so it's been tough getting around since December.
 
I saw the first meadowlark of the season yesterday so spring is coming. Seems like they always show up too early because our spring storms in March and April seem to thin out a lot of the "early birds."

There certainly is'nt,thankful for the snow though,my back,not so much :wink:
 
Boy!, you do have some snow left. I suppose some of the draws will hold drifts into June? You'll have grass with some warmer weather. We are dry dry dry in Eastern Colorado. Chinook winds have been sapping our mouisture every day for the last week or ten days. Blowing warm out of the west at 25mph as I sit here. Maybe we'll get some rain in like abundance come May (well a feller can dream caint' he!). Fires are a problem. over 6000 acres have burned on Fort Carson last couple of days, and another up at Florissant.

Bet that chinook don't sound to bad to you right now.

'Bout 30 mph wind here. Hot and dry, too. Only place you'll find water on this place is the septic tank or the slowly drying ponds.
