Precautions taken ....

as there is "an Historic Snowstorm" predicted.  Lets just hope it doesn't!! 

Anyway with that forecast we've been busy for the last few days.  The Scanner (more next time on this) has been brought forward to today instead of next Tuesday.  And we raced up the Spur yesterday to get as many cows as we could down.  They winter at 700m to 900m above sea level, and are getting heavier in calf, so won't cope with too much slippery snow and the ice and frozen ground to follow.



Come on where's breakfast?




Ahhh here it is (ewes in one mob before scanning)




Heifers already have theirs




Dammit the fog is rolling in




Sure has




And up on The Spur where we have to muster





Took the chance in between the fog rolling in and out, and getting the cows




Disappearing again though

We got about half of them down, and a few more will just turn up when they hear the tractor feeding the others.  Then once it clears off again, we'll be back up for the rest.

Anyway must be off, have to get the twinning ewes off their high octane grass before they get to much of a good thing, although at least  they weren't empty when they went on so won't have gorged themselves.  And it has stopped snowing so I'll take advantage of the break.
