Winter’s First Snow

Kentucky, like most of the country, has had very little snow this winter. We haven’t had any here until today. It was cold and windy as well as snowy. We didn’t get any accumulation to speak of. It was kind of nice to have a wintery day.

 

There are three calves still on milk. Since it’s hard to hold three buckets for three calves Lisa hung Bevis’ from the fence.

He was trying to get every drop.

  My glove must have looked like an udder. My coat is Holstein colored too. He looks cute and cuddly doesn’t he? Well, he’s cute.

I didn’t think I looked like a nurse cow.

While Bevis was chasing me around, Yogi was trying to get milk out of Harvey’s udder. Harvey is a bull. The neighbor cattle came to watch.

The hay in the middle of the roll must be tasty. It’s funny to see them with their heads jammed in the hole.

We were taking Heidi some hay and breaking the ice in her water tank.

The big bovines came to see if we had buckets.

It never got much above 25 all day. This was about 3 pm. The van is outside because of all the hay in the garage.

At the end of the day it was just a heavy dusting, nothing to measure.
