Yesterday was a beautiful spring day.
Today:
We'll be below 0 f before the morning
It was 20 all day with 75mph(120k) winds, with snow on and off
And to top that off there was a prairie fire that's travelled as fast as the wind that they susposedly have out. If the wind switched...well that would have been the end of 120 years of work and progress for us.
Oh and 8+ calves born in the middle of this too.
I'd rather deal with a flood...as then you can sandbag and pump it...instead of watching it blow.

March 27...previous week, 50 to 70 F weather, warm. Tonight: I come in and watch a 10 minute video...and then look out the window to see that everything is white.
First snow since October I think. Would liked rain but moisture is moisture when you're in a drought I guess.

Spring is here. First Calf today, only took 15 minutes to get 89 heifers and 9 out of 12 bulls in and 3 hours to give up on one brain dead one.
(After we gave up on the last one, after it went through/over 3 different fences)
Dad: " Watch the calf while I see if the cow went in"
Me, with sunglasses at dusk: "What calf?"
Little Red Angus Bull calf. Got a ride into the corrals to its mother and thanked Dad, who was on my 4 wheeler, by...relieving itself on the 4 wheeler seat...I wonder if someone has done a study on why cows do that, once they sense they have quit moving(in a stock trailer, rotary milker, etc) they immediately...relieve themselves.
Calf is above the center of the image and to the left, behind the tree/branch. Hopefully compression doesn't kill the picture...first image I shared here, it's even in "Living Color".
