We got about 16 inches of snow with 3-4 foot drifts so far out of the storm. I've been busy all day getting to the cattle and getting them fed. What little I looked around everything appeared to be all right. The cows and calves are all bunched up in a brushy draw to get away from the snow and wind. I hate this since once a stressed calf gets the scours the chances are it will run through all the calves as bunched up as they are. Nothing I can do about it though. They need the shelter and that's where it is.
It quit snowing for a little bit this afternoon but it has started again now. More to deal with tomorrow. I wonder if this is Mother Nature's early April Fools joke. Don't tell me we needed the moisture. I didn't need this kind of moisture.

It's the same thing here. I always read and enjoy the comments but I might not always respond to them if I don't feel a response is warranted. Less is more you know.
Trade you, I'm in Saltillo, Mexico, hot and dry, not a cow in sight.
I've seen it amount to nothing with no doctoring required to killing them within 12 hours if untreated. It's not the scours per say killing them but whatever the bug is in their system that is causing the problem and all you see is the scours to indicate the problem.
Hope that helps.
