What goofy damned weather. Friday; nice, highs near 40, way to much damned wind. Saturday; snow about 4-5 inches, cold, zero or colder, wind, downright miserable. Today; highs near 40, no wind, nice, at least that's the forecast. Sure is goofy. <br />n<br />nI hate calving heifers in cold temperatures like Saturday. Of course I had to pull my first calf of the season that night. That one large calf more than made up for all the small ones so far. He was a big bastard. You don't pull on a calf much harder than that and get them out alive. What really makes pulling miserable in such cold weather is the way the chains freeze to your hands while you are trying to do it. Damn that can hurt. I know it doesn't feel real good to the calf and cow either but there is nothing i can do about that. Mama and baby are doing great though.<br />n<br />nHell, all the baby calves and mamas are doing good so far. Hope the track record keeps up.<br />n<br />n<strong>With luck on your side, you can do without brains. Giordano Bruno</strong>
