I think we might officially be out of the woods so to speak regarding cold temps.
There are a few peeling noses on the calves and some puffy ears. We didn't even bother ear tagging calves for a few days.
One poor little guy crawled a fence about 10 days ago(during a blizzard) and got hung up in a 'tree'. It was 0F the next morning when we found him. I thought he was dead. Hanging in the branches, totally exposed.
Hot boxed him for 24 hours, jug of colostrum.
You know it can't be good and sure enough he is limping around now and I might have to put him down, skin him and try to stick a bum twin on the cow. That's ranchin' and it ain't always exactly fun.
But at the same time if that's the worst of it we're doin' good.
