A Change in the Weather

So last week we had the biggest snow storm since 1992 and now it has been 70 degrees with intense sun, I think I like this week better! All the staff started on a "sleep in" schedule this week, meaning that everyone gets a morning where they don't have to come into work until 8am, mine is today. We usually start at 5am. Also, my herd started calving now so I am really enjoying watching over them. I have to make sure they have the right amount of feed, make sure  all the calves are matched up with a cow; then draft the cow out of the paddock, make sure to watch and treat for any metabolic issues (health) and keep them happy. We have calved about 600 out of the 800 cows so far and my herd will probably finish calving in the next 5 days, so we are closing in on the end of the busy calving season!
