CHANGE IN WEATHER

We went from warm fall weather to winter like weather.  We even got a little snow!
I may not be excited about the cold weather,  but the snow is a sight for sore eyes.

First, it was just cold wind.  Not a pleasant day to move the heifers.

The cold day didn't stop this young cowboy from saddling up and helping his dad.

Then the weather got colder, and we got a little snow.  The cowboys still work, no matter the weather.  Today they were sorting replacement heifers in the feedlot.
I should also mention that the day before this was windy, snowy and cold and they were preg-checking cows.  They are tough.  I was lucky enough to stay home.

Just for the record, I drove down to the feedlot for these pictures.  I wasn't actually working in the cold.  I know, kind of cheating.  Don't kid yourself though, I have been there, done that.  It's just my time for a slower pace. (whenever possible)

They look through all the heifers and choose the best ones.  They look at the overall conformation, size and breed of the calves. 
The boss was sorting them.  He seems to be concentrating pretty hard. 

Of course Clay has some say in the choosing of the replacements as well.. He has a good eye.

A good dog is always helpful.

A good horse is also essential. 

The calves are doing great and growing fast. 

I'm going to keep hoping for more snow.
