cows in snow - Deanna

[Guest guest]

Brrrrr that is cold. So VERY sad all those cattle have died. I heard about it

on the news. I was surprised they didn't have enclosed shelter, in that cold

climate for them. I'm so happy for you, that you were able to keep your

livestock alive and warm enough not to freeze to death. I'm sure that is quite

an undertaking.

 

We have a store in town that is going out of business and they hired this

company to help them do the close out. The man they sent is from the Denver

area. Today was the last day for the store. He's been here 6 weeks. I

recommended he visit Destin Beach, Fl, which isn't to far from here. LOL when

I saw him yesterday, he told me that he has decided to go down there for a

mini-vacation, because there is so much snow on the route he has to drive back

to Colorado. It was 70 here today and sunny. I think he will be delighted he

made the choice to enjoy this breathtakingly beautiful beach while he was in the

area and not go back and face all that snow so soon. He was teasing all the

folks back in Denver, with our warm winter temps, since he has been here. He

said that it has been so dry for many years though, that all this snow will

bring tons of needed moisture to your area.

 

It really has been an unusally mild winter even for us. I'm still wearing

shorts most days, so far and usually I'm in pants for about 3 months this time

of the year.

 

Hope you warm up there soon..

Judy,

I am north of the plains area that was hit hardest. I am in the

middle of the state and south of Denver. During this rough weather I

decided to leave the ranch in western Co. and return to the city. 3

ft. of snow with drifts way higher than that and 30 below zero was

too much for me. Estimates are that over 30,000 head of cattle have

died and who knows how many more livestock froze or starved. We

didn't lose a single animal on the ranch. I am so disappointed in the

ranchers and cattle feed lot operators in that area.
