Winter Storm is Coming!

Morning folks. It's a beautiful day. There's about no breeze. It's gonna get up to about 50. Well, listen here That's changing. Tomorrow we got a winter storm warning Gonna start out with maybe a few sprinkles and freezing rain Turning to snow might get two to three inches of snow and honestly, we need the moisture It's gonna make calving not be fun for maybe a week. We really need that moisture So today we're gonna be preparing for that. I'm gonna start out We got three good pairs to move over and fill that first pasture. We've been feeling. Hey, honey Can you go back? Thank you Then we got some piles of manure, you know behind the way the calves eat and these feedlots We're gonna clean up fresh bedding in the barn. We had a new baby last night right there. We got a heifer calf O61 heifer calved so we're gonna be busy Did I get blue ribbon at the state fair? I Got a participation award when I was mutton busting. I Thought holy smokes I won and they were like no that girl over there won Come on Get a poopy butt Someone's hitting me with that gate This is the last load this pasture We'll start hauling to the next one good My machine and let it work Probably three years ago. There's probably a fourth season of pulling bags off this pallet lasts a long time But by the end of this year, we're probably gonna be need more. We got one two, three, four five bags left five cleanings worth That bedding actually wasn't too bad probably get a few more days use out of that But with the storm coming it's gonna be muddy afterwards We always try to clean the barn right before a storm have things as nice and be as prepared as we can You Actually ran out of room in the spreader this time started putting a pile over there But we'll be picking up some manure later today and we'll get that pile here in a bit after we blow bedding back in this barn Once we get more calves and we're ready to move them out of the barn, we're gonna bring them here at home You know right in the back You got a nice bunk line here We'll be putting 18 pairs in this pen and then once pastures are greened up We just open a gate and they're out in the pasture. We got to what nice wind breaks We got two little calf shelters, and that's what I came back here for Load it up another bale gonna fill those calf shelters with bedding and just be all prepared and such 0.33 is calving. Let's get this bedding spread out and let her back in 0.33 is still working on it out here The day way more exciting when you got Calving going on gives you something to look forward to and to check on. All right So next you can see we got some big poops out here I'm gonna get that cleaned up before we get moisture get that pad cleaned up. We moved all the bread heifers They used to be in that new feedlot right behind the barn. We moved them in here There's only 16 left and we sorted the cows, you know, the cows started calving last video So we sorted those up and we got about 40 cows in this new feedlot over here See they're hanging out, but we're gonna kick these out so we can clean this pan lunch time He's the basket dog Well, dad, do you want to ghost in here pushing buttons yeah, maybe this thing oh look at it go I didn't do I think you are you're in the driver's seat I'll say okay Now you're pushing buttons Was you? Well, would you rather you'd think that maybe he'd be in this seat and I'd be in the instructional seat the way he talks to me But I'm Would you rather haul this load or get a pitchfork and oh lord It's yelling at us time to treat it I guess Would you rather haul this load or pitchfork some hay into them calf shelters Well, here's the thing if I would have put the hay in the calf shelters, it would have been a better job I wouldn't have to pitch it. I see. So yeah, you can haul this load Then we also got a delivery earlier today We can open that later When we were shooting bedding in seems like most of it was hitting this 2 by 12 and just falling down So we got some work here We just got to clean the apron on this pan and then hop into the bowl lot and we're done with cleaning pens It's 62 degrees. I'm sweating and Tomorrow it's gonna snow Don't you love March There's one more load in there that box scraper really does a good job Anywho, I want to tear into this thing because it's got something to do with oil changes and we're gonna be doing a lot here Probably next week or the week after So we have a low-profile oil drain with pump just came from beaver Got a handle I Can handle that that handle I'm a dad now, so I Gotta do the dad jokes All right, we're getting the pump put together that slaps there to suck up the reservoir I hear dad's pulling in so let's finish up loading out this manure I Like this bowl look at that bowl. It's a good-looking bowl Whoever had I'm sure he sold the 631 You got a nice bowl Hey, that's a big load what I like about this spreader is even though he got a big load These big wide tires hardly leaving tracks not even squatting All right, there it is Pretty long hose that'll reach something high This will mostly be at the north farm and we put it into a barrel that the top of the barrel is about this high So it's nice the nozzle will reach in there And then you know having this thing we can take filters set them upside down and let them drain That's gonna be slick All right running home 520 We just got to feed a grass hay bale when we get there and we're ready for this little storm. We're gonna get Thanks for watching today folks love to see you next time have a good
