Melissa, I've been thinking about your weather and daylight hours all day. We have had a lovely December day, high of 42 F, sun through high clouds, a few patches of leftover snow in the shady spots. The daylight length for today is 9 hours 21 minutes. In six months the daylight length will be around 14 hours 49 minutes, or something like that. The thing is, I find that I feel my best in the spring and fall when the days and nights are nearest to equal.
Those are beautiful bossies. I don't think they would fare as well as my shaggy outside Holstein heifers do up here. The outside girls have all acquired the plush toy look with their winter coats growing in.
I would hate to have to milk anyone elses horrendous cows. The few we've had over the years have been plenty, thank you!
