Hello 2017! With the beginning of the new year continues the strange weather in Texas. Cold one day and hot the next. 80's yesterday and 30's today. This week has been particularly chilly. With hints of frost and a few flurries. The four-legged's at the farm don't stay far from the hay. Did you know when cows eat the roughage,  and horses for that matter, they are actually warming their bodies at the same time? This is due to the fact that heat is released during digestion. So when they eat a lot, it's not necessarily because they are that hungry. They might just be that cold!

Here we have our "Herd Turd" as we like to call our bull Gentle Jack when he gracefully spreads and wastes fresh hay.
