You can see the water running over my diversion ditch to run down into the corral. After much work we got the water flowing through the ditch right and drained the water out of the corral. What a mess. You should see it when there is a lot of snow to melt. It's really a pain. Taken 2/27/2006.(Sarpy Sam)

This is one side of the barn where we calve heifers. It has been so cold, down to 20 below, all the heifers and their calves have been going through it which makes things a pain. The barn is unheated and can hold 6 pairs at a time. Taken 2/17/2006.(Sarpy Sam)

The sun reflecting off the ice in a mud hole. Mud at this time of year is unusual and takes forever to dry since it freezes up every night and then thaws, but doesn't dry, every day. I'm tired of the mud. Could be so dry there is no mud though so take the good with the bad. Taken 1/27/2006.(Sarpy Sam)
