I was just out to start the van and my truck. It's -5 here, but no wind at the moment,. so tolerable. Temps will be dropping, and we're supposed to get 6-10 inches of snow starting tomorrow morning around 10 a.m.

Roger, it indeed has been a chilly one for the last couple days but it's that time of the year I guess.
When it gets like this we roll out straw for the calves to bed down and feed the cows pretty much all they'll eat.
Hopefully no water or machinery issues as we are using 7-8 waterers/tanks, 3 tractors and 2 pickups.
Haven't sold anything yet so there's around 700 various mouths to feed everyday which can get a little stressful when chits breaks down.
Jim, dad and I do pretty much all the chores together now so it takes awhile longer. You know the drill, dark til dark some days!
And I could hear the fuucking wind blowing last night. God I hate that for the critters, maybe we should build a barn......
79, it's all rookie numbers unless a guy is actually out in it working. Luckily for us 90% of the day we're inside a heated cab.
I can only remember 2-3 different days when it was -60 or -70F windchill and it was scary cold. As in don't have ANY exposed skin or you'll feel the burn. Absolutely miserable.
Stay safe out there.

It is a balmy 18 degrees here in SW Montucky this morning!

Stay warm men, we are in line for our coldest weather yet this winter. The worst we had was back when we were drying corn.

Texas, when I was renewing my license the other day I told the young lady to old joke. A cop pulls over this Texan drive his
red Cadillac convertible. The cop says, I see your license is restricted to vision correction, you are not wearing glasses, are
you
wearing contacts? Texan, naw, the windshield is ground to my prescription.

Roger, it indeed has been a chilly one for the last couple days but it's that time of the year I guess. What do cows do for water when it's below zero? Eat snow? We have had freezes where confined cattle on salt mix feed died. We seldom have snow and our cattle can get water out of a running bayou. In December of 1983 we froze hard and water was a problem.

Tank heaters of different flavors.

A drizzly 70 as I type. I was hoping to head to the range but it looks like I will wrench on my Dodge instead. I have my bi-annual physical in couple of hours...

I dunno about Sam, but Ive gone out with a spud and broken ice many a time so cows could drink...when it gets real cold, oddly enough, they need water bad...

I wish I could economically provide warmed water for the cattle in the winter. It seems that a lot of calories must get burned bringing 5 gallons of water up to body temp.
