Snow & a few cows

Posted on October 8, 2013 by Beer Ranch

Sometimes the snow and wind come so fast cattle are buried like this one. They stop out of the wind in a draw for protection and become trapped in the snow. We were devastated but fortunate that we only found a few this way.

Snow & a few cows

We dug into the west pasture by 2pm on Saturday. We found about 20% of the herd there. The rest were grouped about a mile south after drifting with the 60+ mph wind gusts during the night the surviving herd followed hay back to where they came from.
