Now that the cattle 'stuff' is caught up for the spring herd only the heifers need to be bangs'ed sometime in the near future. Thursday we will CIDR the fall cows in prep for AI'ing next weekend. First year with fall cows so we don't know what to expect for conception rates but hopefully they do better than expected. Because of trying to get all of the cattle stuff done we haven't hauled much hay in for our cattle this winter so we are hurrying like crazy to get some in before the weather gets nasty. The weather forecast is looking horrible (snow) for this weekend and rain/snow for tomorrow. We have 13 loads to get from our east fields and they are the hardest to get once the snow flies because the roads are not really roads. The south fields are located on main roads so they can be hauled in at a later date.
