As February and March set in, so has more dry weather. But don't worry, we have had wind. Ugh, not my idea of fun. Yes, it's been unusually warm, but I would take cold over this dry windy weather any day.
Calving season has been challenging to say the least. The wind and the dust seemed to never let up.
Dealing with problems was not much fun in these conditions.
We took care of the heifers, the best we could and saved many.
I always find a little humor to entertain myself. This heifer had a pretty special hairdo.
We're always teaching the next generation.
Here's a little slide show of our days on the range. We have spent quite a few days out moving onto spring pastures.
"can you hear me now?" Haha. Sometimes trying to communicate with each other on the range can be tricky, and often not even possible.
Not all of our cows are beautiful. But she's a good cow.
Some are better lookers than others. Believe it or not, even though the feed looks scarce, the cows still look good. They are kept in fresh water and mineral supplement to give them a boost.
The desert cows are starting to calve. The "easy" days of moving the herds are about over.
We'll keep praying for rain.
