Beautiful March

It feels more like May though. Today was 73 degrees. I guess by the end of the week it is supposed to cool down into the 50's, but then we have a chance of rain, which would be nice.


About a week ago we moved the steers to another pasture. They seem to be pretty happy.





The geese have returned.

We tried burning a small island on Cottonwood Creek to get rid of the weeds, but it didn't burn very well.

Cattle Pictures.

It cooled down a bit and we got some snow. It is warming up again now though.

Here are a few pictures of some of our cows.



Our heifer calves (coming yearlings)...


The steers had to chase Sam. (Click to enlarge)

Another Update

Well, it is the 13th of February and it got to 40 degrees today. The forecast shows upper 30s for the next 7 days. There is no snow to speak of. We are really thankful for this weather.

Here are some pictures that were taken a little over a week ago.




These were taken yesterday when I fed the calves with Dad. (We feed with a pickup with a bale-unroller on it) The calves in the pictures are some of our heifer calves.

Phenomenal Wheather

Well, for a week or so it got pretty cold but it is back up into the 40's and 50's. Yesterday it was 52 and today was 46. There is no big cool-down in sight. After last winter, we are so thankful for the beautiful winter.

This was last winter, around this time.

This was taken yesterday.

Record Temperatures.

Today it hit 64 degrees. That is over 10 degrees over the record for the fifth of January as well as a record high for January. We have been taking advantage of the weather and today we [with the exception of me (I was sick)] weaned calves. We are extremely thankful for the beautiful weather. It is supposed to cool down a bit, but we aren't complaining.
