deep snow cover here, I found feeding late afternoon on new snow everyday the cows eat go get a drink and go back and spread out on the feed line, next morning they are still strung out instead of balled up at the gate or stackyard. Thus spreadinf manure out on the hay meadows. Few guy up the canyon feed really early in thr morning but that so the hay gone when the elk show up around dark.
Feeding in the afternoon works into my calving , I spread a little hay in a pasture outside the big lot ,corrals and barns and let the cows out in the morning feed in the big lot , then early evening let the cows back into the feed in the lot. Anybody that dosn't come in get brought up to a little corral before the big lot then put in thebarn.... seem they all have a calf by 10PM, hardly any calves in the lot before 6 am.
Wuld calve later on grass, but we go on the forest the 6th of June
