I'ts 5;30 PM and -25 degrees and a definite breeze. Not really fit for man nor beast, but here we arein Montana and it is Dec, so what did we expecct?? We are sure glad that our old cow's had a good fall and are in relativelly good shape. The crew put what few grannies we do have with the yearlings and two's better protection and lot better quality hay. One of them just said that the old cowherd ate up nearly40 lbs of hay today.[per cow] Poor hay and a year old but it'll keep em warm as it digest's. Have a lot of calves on hand and they are eating everything but the pitchfork handles. But you just got to look at the bright side[at least here] we had a good long fall and it is only 4-5 months till spring.
