Crust

[jodywy]

Have to go out early afternoon before the snow gets soft and get calves back onto the feed and bed grounds. Other wise the snow gets soft and is deep enough they can't get back. The dang little buggers walk out on it in the morning and then lay down.
When we used to keep yearlings I hated this time of year they get on top of the crusted snow and step over fences and go for miles exploring. The nice thing was you could get the team and sleigh up on top and have a smooth ride instead of the bumpy trails and feed grounds.

How deep is the snow you have left?

Typical first day of spring with 2 to 3 feet left on the valley floor. South slopes are bearing up on the high mountains

Never thought of that as posing a problem but I guess they would get tired of bogging down in that much snow. "I think I'll just wait here til momma comes . . . ." :?
