| I remember when I was a kid a storm like that. Dad had a pen of feeder calves and a pen of cows. Cows could have went out on stalks if they chose.
We finally gave up with the tractors and decided to carry the hay from the old outside stack , across the cow pen to the feeder calves.
It was an square bale stack so a lot of bad bales.
Normally the cows would have never let us get across their pen with a bale but not one bothered us.
I would get on the stack and dig out a better bale I thought would make it. Slide it out on the snow and roll/crawl /waddle over to it and slide it a bit farther. All I did was try to keep hay and water to those calves all day.
The water wasn't so bad as it had a wood fired heater in a tank with a float. Just drag some wood across 2x a day.
The weather cleared up, calves went up in price and they went down the road! LOL | |
