Blake and Arden removing ice from a water tank so cows can drink on 12-30-10. Cows need nearly a gallon of water for each of their 100 pounds of weight in the winter. During the summer when producing milk for their calf this need can double. On 12-31-10 the ranch had 8" of snow, 30 mph wind and it was 0 degrees. We fed cows then drove home with about 50 feet visibility--fortunately no traffic. Brrrr. We stayed at ranch the past two nights, but came to town for celebrations. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
