Strange weather to say the least... last night it was 12 degrees, this morning while feeding it was 40 degrees... now it's in the low 50s with a winter storm brewing :shock:.
I fed the heifer calves this morning

. They've been getting about 10 pounds of 2-year old alfalfa/grass hay and a pound of cake a day. I gave them a little extra hay today and skipped the cake :wink: . The cake is more or less to keep them coming to feed since the bulls are directly across the west fenceline :shock: ... yep, I'm living on the edge :lol: .
The majority of them look really good, but a few aren't as fleshy. I guess we all can guess which will make the better cow

. The red heifer is a lot framier, and if she breeds than fine, but if not, "oh well" :wink: .
The cows were happy for some feed this morning. They've been getting about 15 pounds of alfalfa/grass hay/day, but like the heifers, will be getting a little extra during this storm

. We've had an open winter, so they've been able to get grass...which has been extremely nice on our hay piles :wink:
Heifers are starting to show. I'll start calving the end of February.
Like some of the folks we see at the buffet bar...I'm betting my cow's a lot cleaner though :lol: .
I accidently sorted two heifer calves in with the cows... they're doing just fine

Really liked this picture from the other day
