Picture for you northerners

Took these pictures of the neighbors pasture today.
This is why a lot of people calve in the fall around here.
The grass is greener in the middle of the winter than it is in mid summer.

Wise guy

john in la · Jan 19, 2019

Maybe so Bruce.
But we pay for it in July and August.

I imagine a New Holland snow baler. Using a snow blower pickup into the chamber, then a hot knife separator between each compressed block and ramp to ground. let refreeze (2 degrees here) and instant Igloo construction material. Green grass, what a concept. Jim

Is it true your summers are so hot, the cattle are cooked on the hoof?

jon f mn · Jan 19, 2019

Yeah, well you got gaters and snakes and roaches the size of rats and rats the size of a new born calf.

Old weldor · Jan 19, 2019

I went through basic training at Fort Polk La. in July & August 1969. I remember how hot it was!

Elton Fancher · Jan 19, 2019

Do they just have long ear cross cattle. Too hot for Angus I would guess.

RBoots · Jan 19, 2019

How long until you have spring buds on the trees down there John?

leroy in ne · Jan 19, 2019

old weldor, hit post July 4, 1966, 8 weeks in C-3-1, yes was warm but I had been working as an inspector on I-80 construction. Interesting watching the air conditioned office types handling the heat.

ChasK · Jan 19, 2019

Wow. With the 8" of new snow here that hurts. Just plain old hurts!

SVcummins · Jan 19, 2019

We will start calling in 2 weeks and lots of guys start the first of January northern Utah S.E. Idaho

David Snipes · Jan 19, 2019

I'll send you a box of snow and you send me a box of green grass.

About the first of march.
We put tomatoes out in early March and we will start picking strawberries in the next couple of weeks.

SweetFeet · Jan 19, 2019

in one way, it looks lovely...
cuz it's deeply white here now

in another way, i must concur with jonfmn...
cuz as jim staffor sang: "i don't like spiders and snakes"

Glen SW Wi · Jan 19, 2019

He might just send you a box of spiders and snakes. Maybe even an armadillo.

john in la · Jan 19, 2019

Elton

We have some registered angus herds but yes a lot of cattle with big ears.

SweetFeet · Jan 19, 2019

no, no... not necessary.

wjytexas · Jan 19, 2019

has the wind gotten to you yet John. it howled here in TX all day. at least it didn't get as cold as earlier thought

Russ from MN · Jan 19, 2019

As long as your pi$$ing of the folks shoveling snow, I'll throw in a few pictures from our outing today, to Tortilla Flats AZ. Lots of nice motorcycles, good food and music! When we got home we went in the pool and hot tub!

john in la · Jan 19, 2019

We do our best to keep outsiders OUT.
Jim Stafford

john in la · Jan 19, 2019

Yes the wind is just getting here.
Getting down right chilly out there.
At least is not going to be protect your water pipe weather like they were saying earlier this week.

Philip d · Jan 19, 2019

That looks like a beautiful spot this time of year!

flying belgian · Jan 19, 2019

Watch out. You just may have a bunch of us show up on your door step tomorrow. 2 above hear in So. Mn.

SweetFeet · Jan 19, 2019

this north-lander really wouldn't hurt anything - maybe eat some fresh seafood, try a slice of muffuletta sandwich, and admire some good ol' southern rust... while avoiding spiders and snakes!

john in la · Jan 19, 2019

We love visitors.
Especially ones with big wallets.

But then again I would not want us to become Florida.

Northvale PA · Jan 19, 2019

A good dose of winter crap weather makes the other seasons soooooo much nicer.

old popper · Jan 19, 2019

Besides that, we don't get any bugs on our windshields for 3 or 4 months.

Traditional Farmer · Jan 20, 2019

That's what I like about Central VA splits the difference between the North Pole areas and the Deep South as far as the weather goes.

NEKS · Jan 20, 2019

Fort Polk was my stomping ground in 63. So hot some days didn't do much. Them dry pine needles just made it smell hotter. Don't ever remember dad saying its to hot to go to the hay field. Sunday morning and 8 degrees.

Traditional Farmer · Jan 20, 2019

Never too hot to go to the hay field.I've been in the field handling small bales all afternoon when it was over 100 degrees in the shade and we were in the Sun.We went thru a lot of ice water.

You mix ⅜ Brahman with them and come out with Brangus.....do just fine and sell really good. Sold a 3 year old "grade" bull this time of year at the Durant, Ok. sale barn for $3200 that was primarily on grass. Black is most of what you see nowadays.
