In essence we fence line wean. The lot I keep the calves in is just across the fence from the stalks my cows are on for the winter. I have never seen the bawl come out of the calves as quick as it did this year. I have been lucky so far with no sick calves and they are staying on feed (knock on wood).

I don't think we've ever met- but I bet we'd act like we've known each other forever if we did! Milk right now runs between $12 and $13 per CWT. Disgusting, ain't it?

(Finding it funny that your bride and I wear the exact same crocs to the barn!)

I'm working in Livingston, TN during the week, but I am back in Lewisburg, KY every weekend. at Daddy's farm closest to Russellville, we got about 10.5 inches, but down towards Lewisburg, I got only about 6 inches. our other farms were somewhere in between those figures.
