Calving Away
The heifers finally started picking up on their calving this last week. They were definitely not cycling when the bulls were turned out last spring. Nothing I can do about that, it's just the breaks. We have been busy though keeping up on things. It has really been tiring.<br />n<br />nThe weather has been nice…

Different
Every year seems to be a little different and bring something new. This year I might not have many calves yet, three, but the cattle are reacting different.<br />n<br />nI always like to leave the heifer in the pen she has been in while she is calving. She is comfortable there and more willing to…

Memories
The recent Blizzards in Colorado and a book I am reading have reminded me of the winter of 96-97 in this area. It rivaled the historical winter of 1887 in it's ferocity and snow cover around here. It started in mid October and didn't end until mid April.<br />n<br />nI have never fed cows so…
