Them are some cracker heads that are getting a good education right now. The temperature is a little different than when they got off the truck last summer. They are holding up pretty good though.

They sure look out of place. Luckily the sunlight broke through today and gave them a little break but the cold wind is cutting through their short hair

I agree with you Charles... back in the 1960's through the early 1980s it was cold winters around where I grew up...used to get busted water lines and such...in the 70's and 80's we enabled freeze protection 4 or 5 times a year...1990's through 2015 we have enabled 4 or 5 times total...the young folks in the plant don't know how to enable freeze protection... |

I've heard some of the elders around here say the same thing, that February and March used to be cold and nasty. The cold don't bother me but the cold mud is getting rough on the cattle. If its going to be like that then I'm thinking about setting my calving season back a few months.
