Well....our GroundHog here in Ga....General Lee....says we'll have an early spring.


Can't come fast enough!!!!
 
We had spring thundershowers last night. I let the dogs out, and bout the time they went from the porch to the sidewalk.....lightenin struck somewhere right out front...skeered the jiggers outta them and me. All of us went back in the house......needless to say.....they didn't get their pee before bedtime. I tried later to let em out again...but they weren't havin none of that!!!!!
 
We don't have groundhogs in Texas

Ground Hog wouldn't see his shadow in this part of the country today...Cloudy-Cold with a bitter east wind...

I got quite a surprise when I went out to feed this morning and saw a bunch of cows standing in a circle- as I rolled out the hay I see this little calf standing in the middle.. A 70lb heifer out of my sons Strategy X Miner Tribute cow sired by my Bannon of Wye bull...
Calf was up and had sucked but was pretty darn chilly in our 5 degree temp and -25 wind chill--but the old cows circling must have helped keep it warm...

I have her and momma in my warm room of the barn getting the chill off it- think it will be fine except for its not going to have much ears for eartagging :roll: Hopefully its feet didn't get nipped...

Cow was due Feb 10th- and I was going to corral her and the other early bred one today- but I checked them a couple of days ago- and neither was showing any sign- but now in hind sight I remembered this one doesn't until about 5 minutes before she calves...
