I will take my -30 over your ice and mud any day thanks. We had a nice week about 10 days ago where it got into the 30s most everyday. Last weekend it turned cold again and I am really getting tired.... like tired from not sleeping much because of having to check for babies in the night, and tired of this cold weather.The last two nights were retarded... it was close to -30 last night. I heard this morning that we have one more day of cold then it is supposed to get more seasonal, with temps in the mid 30s.
Whenever I travel into the Midwest US in this time of year, I often wonder how you keep calves alive. I have been to places where cows are to their bellies in mud... and that is not just in the yards, but in the pastures. Here we think we have it bad if we get two weeks of wet muddy weather. You folks put up with 2 or 3 months of mud.... or more. At least here, I can bed the cows down and it will stay dry unless it snows again, which it hasn't done much this winter. I am ready for green grass!
