Fall this year lasted about A minute, we have lots of snow, wind, below zero weather and it is only Thanksgiving. So far we have had about one or two feet of snow; but in open acreage of flat ground and the wind blowing all the time it seems like a lot more.
I still have to go out and feed and water my steers and horses; boy it is cold! I still work with my steers at least twice a week no matter what. This is not the fun part of having 4-H steers but it is part of life if you want to be a cattle producer some day.
In weather like this I just make sure to wear the correct clothing; So bundle up and keep working.
I was told that "grand champions are made over the Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks".
REMEMBER "you got to want it to win it"
I had to dig out the water troth.
this drift went from one end of my calf pens to the other; and the water troth was under there somewhere!
I just kept digging until I found it and then had to keep digging so that my steers could get to it!
Can you see the corner of the troth, I kept working for about an hour and got it uncovered.
This could be a long Winter if I have to dig every day!
Here is hoping that the snow melts a little.
