January weather
In my last post I showed you a picture of one of our winter fields viewed out our back door. What it doesn’t show is the temperature. It was pretty mild that day in the high 20’s. The last 2 days have been pretty cold. That’s -7 yesterday morning and today it is “up to” 0, but the wind is blowing pretty hard making for a bad wind chill. The cows have good thick hair coats, but this kind of cold keeps then from gaining weight as much as we would like and it takes more feed for them to maintain their body temperature. Forcasters are calling for more snow, but it will have to warm up to get serious about snowing.
