I should use my real camera but just had my phone and snapped a picture of some of my calves that were grazing the strip of standing corn near to the house. I am embarrassed by this drought corn anyway so just as well its a poor picture.

Corn didn't get very tall with my late planting and very dry hot conditions last summer. But this is a time of year when I really need the grazing.  The corn has been giving them some energy as nights have been near below zero F for the past week or so. Having a heat wave today - current temperature is 12 deg F.  Feels warmer now that the wind has died down a bit. Snow flurries also made the picture a bit fuzzy. 

Supposed to get above freezing for highs this coming week. If the snow melts over my scale platform in the corral I'll try to get a weight on the calves to see how they're doing as far as gain. Looking at them I think they look like they are gaining pretty well, especially given the cold weather. fwiw here's a poor phone picture.
