With the January cold finally showing up, I thought I better go ride herd and see how the critters are holding up.
Look pretty content.
Having worked through the latest lick tup, I brought them a new one. Sliding it off the sideboard is a pretty slick trick.
Mollie and Chief sure appreciate some molasses and protein.
The last tub they licked until it rolled into the ditch.
The cold and the wind over the weekend really iced up the water. Amazing that the little trickle is enough to keep everything flowing.
Heavy with young.
Cows are incredible with what they can do with dry old grass. With their rumen, a four chambered stomach, they glean all the possible nutrients out of grass. When I see a cow lying down, chewing her cud, I know she's doing well. These cows are going to need some feed in the next couple weeks, and sooner if the weather turns to winter. In the meantime, I think we'll let them keep turning this dry grass into muscle matter. Ranchin.
