Checking in..

Well it is winter. It is here if you want it or not. It is cold, windy, doing a little snow, inter mixed with freezing rain. Tank heaters are going strong to provide fresh water to all the cattle. Hay is being eaten up and the cows are doing pretty well. In a few weeks we will start feeding the breeding cattle haylage bales, (fermented third cutting bales) that we rotate with dry hay to provide them the best nutrition in the bad weather we can. Feeding the haylage bales smells amazing, it is a smell that is just good. Sweet, even for me. The cattle know as soon as Jordan brings one over the hill.... there is 0% waste from one of those bales. Our calves from this year we kept back are doing good. I work to tame them down and teach them a bit on handling manners. They are all turning our very nice. All in all winter is going well. Let us hope January treats us the same.
