First Snow of the Season

Amazingly its January 2 and we are just getting our first snow!  The cows  spent the night in the barn and were late getting out of bed this morning. They don't mind the snow and it's not actually cold enough for them to feel it, but the wind was blowing like a hurricane last night and they definitely do not like wind.

The spring calves are all getting their first look, feel and taste of snow.  Cinnamon is staying close to her mother, but the others are choosing to stay in the barn.  They have a calf space all to themselves where the cows can't get to them and step on them. They like to huddle together like a pack of kittens. Their mothers are out scarfing up the last of yesterday's hay and hollering for relief from their full udders. The calves pay no attention!
