well, I grew up in snow country, when there 60 inches of snow cows don't paw thru it. So we went out and fed them behind what shelter there was.
60" of snow. WOW. 😳 Jody, I can't fathom that!!
I was talking a one-or-two-day storm. The cows are in shelter and it's best not to disturb them
til the blow is over. That's one reason to have the cows in good shape going into winter.
Not meant at you but to the general readers. One friend in SE Montana said the other day,
"some people didn't start feeding their cattle soon enough."
And like MC said, the best insurance is to have your cows in good shape going into winter.
Again, not directed at you, Jody. It's cheaper to have them in good shape going into winter as to try to add condition after winter sets in.
But 60" of snow...that's 5'! I don't think we ever encountered that much snow.
