Baby its Cold Outside! What's your temp?

[Pony Soldier]

Mtbn- thanks. I will look into it.

.. While drinking their frozen ears would fall off and the rake was to keep the tank clear. I learned later that most of the calves had their tails fall off too.

Man, that's brutal.

These guys do pretty good down to -20...

5 degrees here right now.

Broomd : I am considering them for the future. At the drougt I had to sell off my Herefords. I haven't been able to go to Angus. I grew up with them. I lost 60% of my grass and am plowing up my fields and reseeding. Painful and expensive.

The media loves to blow things out of proportion. Really bad news catches everyone’s attention and they get ratings. Look how they exploited Covid.!

18 western Oregon rain is freezing as it hit.

LOL. It is life threateningly cold outside where we are. It's absolutely frigid.

 

[streetdoctor]

Made it 19 minutes.

That's about 14 minutes longer than I would have lasted!

Was -10 last night in Denver.

 

[*zap*]

Inside now. -6 temp outside. Seems to be warming right up.

 

[Fatcamp]

It is horrible out. The airport is closed until tomorrow night. Interstates will close at dark.

Luckily I'm an essential employee and am required to work.

 

[Johnson27]

-3 and falling in western IL.

 

[Cubby]

Miles City is going to be -32 by 8am on Friday and that's without wind factor, but I will still come to work lol

 

[Axlrod]

Was -39 this am in Butte. Think the high was -17 today.

 

[TX_Diver]

Down to -2 feels like -24 here now. Still hasn't gotten as windy as it was supposed to. Supposed to drop a few more degrees though so we'll see.

Just watched the news. Isn't it interesting that colder than hell with snow is just unique in the west while as it approaches the northeast it becomes a bomb cyclone and a national crisis. No insult meant to you folks living there. Just an observation of the national news media.

You've got your hands full there with re-pasture, but you read like the guy that will prevail!
Highlands are slow growers, but they are versatile with feed and have a ton of personality. Cool critters. We've been focusing less on beef marketing, although that low-cholesterol meat is popular with customers.
Been focused more on selling calves, the return has been crazy. 'Yard art'..we insist they buy two though. Highlands are social animals.

If and when you go that direction, let me know. We could work with you for calves or brood stock.

Not bad overall, making ice and the fish are biting! Late season hunt might be rough, but we’ll sss.

Just had a nice fine rainy mist move through this morning to moisten things up for the plummeting temps and snow later this afternoon

12hr update. Pretty drastic winter conditions for this area. Blowing snow and drifts. I'm sure you westerners would laugh at the panic of the way the weather stations are acting
