The cows, are IN!
It started raining this morning, forecast to rain all day, and tonight. While it was warm during the day, 60s, tonight, low of 40, which for us could mean another 5 degrees lower (the forecast site is at a lower elevation), rain in the 1-2inch range. AND, we will be under a high wind advisory (15-20, 30mph gusts). Low tems, wet cows, wind, bad combo.
Of course when I hump it out there, it went from a light rain, to a medium to heavy downpour and didnt stop once.
Looking at NOAA radar, all I see is light and dark yellows.
Upside, it was reasonably easy. Let the girls out, and lead them down out of the fields with alfalfa/oat cubes. They love them! Like candy! Once we got half way there, the girls just took off and headed for the barn, leaving me well behind. Took a few minutes to get them in their stall, with fresh water and a whole bale of good hay.
But the girls are in!
This weekend it will be time to bring the goats in. They have A-frames, and are in a semi-wooded area, so they are not as much of a concern. And they have their winter coats come in.
