Ed, it sure as hell feels like it lately but the the weatherman says hold on...
Low of 0F and wind and snow for tomorrow(night). Could be an all-time record low....
Not at all what we need given that calving is just taking off with the main herd. Nothing we can do about it but put out a bunch of straw and hope for the best. We've got great wind protection but you can never escape the cold air.
Jim, worms and lice is something that I need to get a better understanding of, sounds like you have a good handle on it which is good.
I've kinda been thinking we should try a different backpour just to mix it up a little.
This morning I was out ear tagging calves while my dad was chopping bales in the tractor. All of a sudden about 20 head threw their head ups and ran off the chow line..... Hmmmm...
Finished tagging the calf and went to do a little investigation.
Spied this bastid lurking a couple hundred yards away.
