Bringing the heavy first calf heifers home from Webb Place ...took them down there to scour guard them. Woulda worked them here a home but the corral, alleyway, and squeeze chute were completely snowed under.


This is one of the drifts around our home...measured the drift between the buildings and it is 8 foot deep. Feb 6th we had 60 inches and 16 inches of moisture measured at the head of our creek. By the end of the month we had 120 inches and 34 inches of moisture...only one day after the 6th of Feb that we didn't get snow in the month of Feb.

My 3 1/2 year old cowboy :-)


We are about 2 weeks out from calving. Caterpillar dozer of course is under the weather (clutch) and no tractor we have can do any snow plowing. We are praying for warm weather to help melt some ground out for the calving cows. Hope to get the dozer parts this week and up and running by early next week!

Last photo...picked this little pony mare up from a friend selling her on Friday. Our little guy has a good mount now---this pony is more broke than most of our bigger horses. So far so good![img[/img]

testing to see if this makes the pics bigger...
 
Wow, that is alot of snow! Sure hope it melts or your cat gets fixed before calving. That is great about the pony. He'll have alot of fun with her.
 
I sure hope you dozer has a warm cab - - - I have a JD650G and a Case 650G both with open rops - - - good in summer and my Komatsu D37P with a nice heated rops enclosure.

My cousin and I bought a JD 650J with a very nice sound proof heated and Air conditioned cab but I won't allow it around trees ( no clearing of ground or fence rows ) as I don't want it scratched.

With the Komatsu I can have the rops enclosure off in about 20 minutes in the summer and back on in about 30 minutes in the fall. Nice big heater but the cab needs sound proofing.

I put a brush guard on the Komatsu this fall as one of the employees took out the windshield and a corner window in about 30 seconds!

Sure is nice to stay warm!!!
 
George...no heated cab :-( Here's a pic from last winter/spring. Was walking the cat down the packed down trail from our 4 up hitch and hay sled to a new stackyard needing plowed out. Fell off of it---but eventually got unstuck.

Wish it was heated!

Awesome pictures. If you'd like to ship a little snow west a ways, we would be glad to take 2 feet or so off your hands! :D That lil boy is a handsome cuss~ :D

Thanks H...I'd be glad to ship some of our snow your direction :-) and yeah my little guy is a cutie. He gets away with a lot of trouble :-)
 
My D6C will cook me right off once she comes up to temp. It's getting close to the time of year to reverse the fan though :D
 
A neighbor has a TD15 International and he built a plywood and plexi glass cab ( painted it looks factory from about 50' or more ) them put metal roofing on the engine sides blowing into the "cab".

Put a door off of an old combine on it.

He stays warm but I would be afraid of a small exhaust leak!
