The second blizzard in 2 weeks has hit the ranch. Blake is doing good, but Kate, Arden and Tiger are tired of fighting the snow and need to rest. Fortunately the cows haven't started calving so the herd is surviving well and are hoping for warmer weather when they are due to deliver in another 10 days. The main problem being encountered is getting feed to the cattle when plowing through deep snow that has accumulated in drifts. Also, the Niobrara is in flood stage so a much longer drive is needed to deliver feed to the cows on the other side of the river. After 2 nights at the ranch we hope the highway is open tomorrow so we can return to town.
