fordthinkin - 11/20/2014 16:28 I don't mean to talk smart here ...but why do Hereford cows need corn. If that's what it takes for a beef cow to perform you better look closer at your cow selection. I won't "talk smart" either... The weather in many northern areas has been very cold this week with very strong winds and wind chills. My Hereford cows are in good condition. Most are still nursing big calves which I've discussed here previously. The temperature right now here is 8 degrees F with a wind chill of -3 F. And dropping. This has been an abrupt change from what had been a mild fall up to last week or so.
