We have had one of the most dry and mild winters ever. Bryan has loved every minute of it.
Now that March is here and our cows are right ready to calve, the snow comes!
I feel bad for the cows when the snow is frozen to their back. They look pretty miserable.
This is Mouse--named more for his color not his size. He is my favorite today.
This calf was born in the snow storm and so Bryan and Alma gathered him up and took him to Marj's and put him in the warmer until morning. He was mooing and ready to nurse by then. They are staying in the barn one more day, until the snow melts--again.
This is the day after the storm. It was beautiful. We ended up with about 16 inches of snow in two days of storm. More than any other storm all winter. We had two calves born and both are alive--for now.
This is my leg showing how deep the snow is.
I realize that my legs aren't that long but the fringe on my chinks is resting on top of the snow.

We have had a mild winter, too. It actually makes you excited to get snow. People around here have loved calving season so far compared to some years.
