We have had an incredible amount of snow in the last four days, schools have been closed for two days, but I didn't realize how much snow until today at the farm. The cattle hadn'r been outside for close to two weeks because of the extreme cold and stormy weather. I let them out today and it was a riot to watch, when they got out into the field there is over 30 inches of snow on the flat, the calves looked like beavers swimming , all you could see was their heads and parts of their backs, the cows were up past thier briskets, they seemed to enjoy the outing but they headed back to the warm barn in short order. I guess the snow is good for the winter crops and the water table, I would never have guessed how much we had until I wandered out into the field to watch the calves, they looked like little polar bears when they came back in, caked white with snow, one of the asthetic pleasures of farming...Mike in Exeter Ontario

Mike, Keep that deep stuf up north . Just got back in side,just tried to start my tractors,no luck,just spun over.Hasn't gotten above 25 deg. for a whole lot of days.weather man says it might get to 40 south of the Mason Dixon tomorrow.We got two good snows between Thanksgiving and Christmas and had two Alberta clippers come through but I can still see grass.

After returning to the warm barn, I'll bet the calves went straight to the Hot Chocolate teat. Aren't mothers wonderful!!
