Weather: Overcast and misty damp.
Where: Cows (254) in L-9. Bulls (18) in WG-4. Heifers (74) EG-5 to include a sliver of EG-8 (area in front of winter facility shelter). Calves (264) in LS-3. Cows move to next split (26 acres). Hay day. Two black-baldy calves (65 and 825). My bad for not checking the grazing journal that would have told us that the Hereford bulls got out on 6.27 last year and bred two cows-so 368 days from then to today. Another Kestrel near winter facility and a bald eagle yesterday in the same area. Weather: More of the same.

Calves still working on their new split. Tyler observes about five deer and a group of antelope just SE of house. A male Kestrel along road to town. Weather: Another cool overcast day.

Weather: Light snow all day and reasonably calm north winds. Breaking up at day’s end.

Snow accumulation overall was about 6”, and about half already is in the ground. As we planned, no need for moves today for Sunday. Calves got their hay supplement at the end of the day. Three swans on the water. Daily chorus of red wings. Seasons are shifting. Weather: Fog like overcast with some light snow all day. Not so cold as expected.

As scheduled with our preparation for snowing cold weekend, only water and mineral checks with all groups and hay supplement to cows and heifers. Useful and fun 3 hour zoom succession planning facilitation for Malta ranch family. Pleasantly surprised with their progress. Weather: Another 2” of snow overnight and mostly overcast and calm all day.
