Another calm and sunny day. Moved cows north of trees in 13. Ryan moved calves into WG4. John White brought his back hoe out to move some snow around. SW winds picked up as we went to bed

Very calm and not too cold. Cows stripped graze the north piece of NBW13 below the trees. Hitting the brush and yucca pretty hard.
Slight warming then cooler with light snow (2”) yet no wind. Cows are still in NBW 11 with some straw supplement. Bulls all back together on west side of NNG1.
Cold and steady SW winds bring both drifting and slight warming. Moved cows to last strip on NBW 11. The Perez family left on early morning flight. We miss the warm morning family chatter.
Cold and clear with bitter SW winds bringing some temperature relief later in the day. Move cows back into 11 after breaking into 13. Full feed straw. Cows are browsing sagebrush and fringed sagewort. Is it the hay protein?
Cold and light snow with NE wind on Christmas day. Let cows float into 14, and also half feed straw. Ryan is NBWcheerful despite extra work. What is the price of a good attitude?
Cooler. Perez’ arrive. Later everyone is here. Calves are eating more feed. Need to make adjustment.
Winter solstice. Soft and calm most of the day, with cooling SW winds at dusk. Late afternoon moved cows to NBW 11. Calves never came into water.
Chilly SW winds. Moved into the 7th and last split in NBW 10. The cows topped feed throughout-maybe a bit long.
Cold morning with NW winds turning calm and warmer. Moved all the bulls back into the east side of NNG 1 with temporary fence. The young bulls are rough. Ryan started treating the calf water for preventive coccidia treatment. Three calves lost so far.
