Well gentlemen, it was indeed a rather brisk day. The cows were all bunched up in their favorite dry riverbed this morning. I fed one bale out in a field just to get them to a spot were I could cake them afterwards.
That first bale was gone by the time I got back with the cake.
We even got about 60 ton of alfalfa ground up in between rolling out straw. Just walked in the door and made myself a Hot JD shot. Hot Damn and JD for you infidels......
You guys had more wind than us. We had maybe 15mph, which was bad enough, but nothing crazy. Those old cows shaking their heads though when they came running out of the trees and that is a tell-tale sign it it not pleasant.
Santa cheeks, it was nippy on the skin!
And I swear to God I have to shake it 5-6 extra times after taking a piss. My wiener does not like the cold!
It is hard to steer, run the loader and take stupid videos all at the same time......grin
Please everyone, try to contain yourselves......

We have had our annual physical inventory the last three days and I'm in charge of it all. It sucks ASS! Every time I watch your guys's? videos, I think "damn, that is what I was meant to do"
It does not look fun when it's this cold out but it has to be better than sitting at a desk and then once a year directing a group of a 150 people to count correctly and then go fix all their damn mistakes on a Saturday. I'm getting plenty sick of this BS.

I help my uncle and cousin with their cows. They raise corn and chop silage. They fill a silo for the feeder calves and a bunk for the cows. Do you guys do silage?

That's not a dumb question. It was -21* here at 3:00 pm. I stopped on a gravel road on the way home from work to take a leak and thought the same thing! lol

Rooster, well, if you have been around cows and still want to do that kind of work(full-time) you are sick in the head......grin
Try and grow 40 acres of silage corn every year. Silage mixes in well with the ground alfalfa, really helps to cut down on the dust and the cattle eat the hell out of it.
Jim, what the hell? Must have been a Chevy.......?
Richard boy is a smart man! He was thinking about that, damn right......too funny!

They filled the silo with "haylage" once. God what an awful, dusty mess when that comes down the shoot! They probably do at least 500 acres of corn. The rest is wheat/beans/barley/oats.
The oats get mixed with corn in a feed grinder and get poured over the top of the silage with a wheel barrow in the concrete bunk twice a day inside the feeder cattle barn.
