The cows scattered yesterday in the glorious 50 degree weather we had. However, today started at 5 degrees and has steadily gone down to -3 at dusk. The cows are tender footed on frozen ground, so they had a cold, slow walk back to the feed ground for their cake and hay this morning.
We waited in the warm cab of the pickup while the cows picked their way around the bends in Pumpkin Creek until they got to one of the few crossings. At the speed they were walking they must not have known there was a PBR event on TV and later the Super Bowl we wanted to watch!
Once home, we watched our young horses rearing and tearing around after each other trying to stay warm – we just ate our popcorn and added another log to the fire!
