After <br>
running 40 minutes I had to pull my coat and hat off to keep from <br>
sweating in the cab. The engine never did warm up to normal even with a <br>
cardboard blocking the radiator.. I spent all day yesterday moving snow <br>
drifts so we could get around.. Another snowstorm coming in this <br>
evening. Rolling blackouts were predicted for today but so far we have <br>
not had one. The furnace in my Dad's old double wide has not shut off <br>
in 4 days. My cows walked about 1/4 mile to get behind an old railroad <br>
grade night before last. The wind chill was something like -40. We are <br>
feeding wheat hay and 16% cubes daily. Got bales laid out for bedding. <br>
So far everyone is still on all 4 legs. Good friend who leases my other <br>
friend lost 6head so far. Coyotes slip up on the calves when they are <br>
bedded down.. My old cow dog had the jumper cables out of my truck <br>
this morning trying to jump start a cottontail...<br>
