A big thank you to ALL guys/gals with livestock

I can’t wait for -20 it’ll seem balmy.

That's funny, I was thinking the same thing yesterday when out clearing snow on my kids ODR.
Actually warmed up to about -21 later in the afternoon and I was starting to break a sweat. I was thinking, wow, it turned into a really nice day!

The snow will melt in shock and make a mess.

Yesterday is the coldest i HAD to run my tractor at since getting animals. I worry about forty five year old Johnny when it’s like this. Cab door broke off, hinges snapped. It’s these cold days I do have to admit I wish for something more modern.

Cow-calf operators are the back bone of family farms and rural areas.

They fill the schools up and contribute to their communities in many ways.

When it gets this kind of cold I always put out 2 or 3 days of feed in the best sheltered spot I have.

They may waste a little but it takes the pressure off worrying about tractor problems.

Good way to freeze your fingers black trying to get a jelled tractor going.

Be carefull out there.
I see they have a go fund me for a young cattle guy's family over by Prince Albert.

Is this the same young guy that was killed in a farm accident a few weeks ago?

Very sad deal. Don't wish to know any more details on that one.

Nice break at lunchtime today to sneak loader tractor and vehicles inside the shop…:

Looks like more snow on the way!!!

My Collie Buddy is busy herding branches into the house, (his job he thinks is to be the branch manager) Coyotes have been sleeping in burrows in the cold….

Amazing livestock (and wildlife) does as well as they do (in-40) with some good bush for shelter!
