Cold weekend coming to an end.

Tuesday is gonna be warmer. Just a few degrees below freezing. With that light wind today made it like -40 . Even the 560 fired up like summer time after being plugged in for 1/2 a day, to feed cows. And plow out the road after that Thursday friday storm. Hydraulics were pretty slow though even after cycling the cylinders. Temperature right now.

Out of curiosity how do the cows handle the cold like that ?

4 degrees here in Northern Ky. Hydraulics on my M Farmall really bogged down. Took about a half hour to really work. Ellis

Your weekend is now moving East and is my mid-week.

If cows have a place to get out of the wind and plenty to eat will usually do pretty good even in the coldest of weather here in MI I actually like to have calves in the cold the pneumonia is less of a problem since cold air holds less moisture. Get the cow in a shed and let them go at it then tend the calf.

cows are tough. give them straw for bedding and lots to eat and they are happy. makes you wonder how the wild animals like moose, elk and deer survive -40 .

Left Calgary Saturday morning before it really hit. Came home to -9 F that night in Denver which was lovely
