I did get the sale results posted last night but no sale day photos because the power was flickering. 26T was the high and the heifer bulls were very popular, with an avg of 3867

With that front hitting Murray on Friday, it's a good thing they made it down on the weekend to have a look. It was super nice in the Creek on Friday-we did wake up to some snow Sat morning and it has progressively gotten worse. Lost a 4 day old calf through the night, must have got stepped on. I brought in a waxed up mare yesterday and am going to go get one more after lunch. She's not waxed up but has a full bag. Pretty sure a foal wouldn't make it in this weather. We had -11 C with a terrible wind through the night - calmed down a little now, but the flag is still horizontal.

Mrs. Greg, I'll catch up by pm later

Time to go crawl into the carhartts again - if we didn't need the moisture so bad I'd really be cussing this.

Murray says the pic doesn't do that young cow justice-she did a good job on not much grass. I had a mare foal out in a storm like this once-my good little bay mare-her Mom had the middle of a bale pawed out and the foals head was sticking out. We sure didn't need any more snow but it will appreciated in your country I'm sure.
