Here at Avery's Branch Farms, we've experienced what we hope to be the last snowfall of the winter. Though the snow was fun when it first came in January, we've had about enough of the cold, the wetness, and the mud. The storm started with some rain this morning, which had turned into a snowstorm by nine. Though we've had thicker storms, this one was especially sharp and it hit hard. We opened up some specially-prepared shelters for the cows to find warmth in.
This is quite a contrast to yesterday, when we enjoyed 70 degree weather and warm, radiant sunshine throughout much of the day. Today, however, we must abide with the continually below-thirty climate. This could be the biggest contrast in weather we've experienced all year!
Unfortunately, farmers still have to milk the cows and feed the animals, even if it snowing. We've taken advantage of the storm outside to get some work done inside.
