A Day in the Life

Of ME!!

Here's pretty much how things go around here for the winter. It was only -26 C out there this morning :nod:

Watering the smaller heifer calves...


Checking out the feed bunk. These are our replacements. They aren't quite out of feed yet, but I guess I need to fork some down.


A good cow dog, knows his job. Keeps their heads out of my way til I'm done


Got 'er all forked up, yum-yum!!


But they stay back as long as Kit's there.


Kit's portrait, it's a little frosty out there.


Now for the next bunch. This is our bulls, dry (or late) cows and the horses. Looking for something to eat.


Watching the dog, no-one approaches the bale til its unrolled.

Todays Menu isssss Kochia and CPS wheat.


Gotta make sure that core gets rolled out


The Banquet Line


Now for the main herd. Still out grazing??


Not sure what's on their minds, they have all this. Guess they don't want to clean their plate....


Got it kinda cleaned up


Why fork when there is a better way??


Ahhh, much better, lots for dinner now....

[randiliana]

Here they come




Ahh, lunch!


Now for the last of my chores. The necessary tools


To turn this


Into this


Ahh, done for the day. But, by the looks of it, they aren't all happy :roll:


The Promolas tub. Just to make sure they are getting what they need.

Good dogs are worth their weight in gold and then some.

That's the way it goes isn't it.

He is, very much worth his weight. Didn't realize how much we relied on him, til he broke his leg early last spring. Sure was glad that he was fixable, and now, that he is back to work again.

Actual temps, around -45 C. With the windchills, below -50 C. Last winter was a nasty one, spent most of Dec, Jan, Feb and a good part of March below -25 C. Made for stressful calving...
