Notes from the Chief
Welp, it’s finally here. The weather is colder than my ex’s heart. There seems to be a bit of snow on the ground too, if you haven’t noticed.
I haven’t been outside of Burlington Township in the last week, but I would say that the city crew in Frazee is doing an outstanding job. Once people seem to get their heads out of the sand and move their vehicles, the city streets are beautifully wide open. Please do your part to keep the streets clean. I would also like to shout out to our township driver who is doing a great job also.
The cattle told me that they are loving the cold weather now that we have all the bugs out of the watering system. I counted all 5 waterers were open on the coldest day of the year. The snow is helping to insulate things as well. I did get my diesel out to plow some snow and it was working great until it gelled up on me. I did talk to a friend that gave me a new tip to get things thawed out so I will give that a try.
Here is a little tidbit of information for you non cattle folks. I have noticed a nice layer of snow on our cows. Why is that important you ask? Cows with snow on their backs are actually warmer. The snow on their back is an indication that they are retaining their body heat. You’ll often see fat cows with an inch or two of snow on their back while thin cows are wet because they’re losing heat and melting snow. Most of our cows fall into the chunky range which means that they are in the correct body condition in the winter while carrying their babies. This will hopefully lead to healthy babies in April and May. Have a nice week.
