Weather: Much Colder yet staying calm
Corrals (NNG): Cows (294+15B) + 9 light calves Todd: 2’s and Opens (112) Notes: Another sub-zero day comes and goes. Cows drifted farther south into the BLM and few actually found the hay yard. Not a good call on my party yesterday. Everything got put back into place and fed. The day ends cold, calm, clear and a golden warmth to it all at dusk.
