Do young calves have to come back in when it turns wintry like this?

Will they survive with their mother for shelter

As long as they have shelter from the prevailing wind they should be ok.
Ours were racing around doing buck leaps in the snow earlier so not a bother on them.

Cold won't bother them, cold and wet might though.

It's gone bitter cold here today, some heavy showers of hailstones. It was so loud during milking, the b!tch that normally kicks off her cluster forgot to do it:rolleyes:

Reggie.

Wintery showers here

Fine Day

The odd shower in the midlands. Nothing major yet. Cold alright.

Hailstones-while I was in the middle of moving cows! Neither they or I was too impressed!! They hurt!!! And I had looked at the sky five mins before and decided to move them while the sky was clear 😡

Hailstones to day reminded me when I left school my father was sowing beet massy ferguson 135 with a bit of a cab I was in the comfort of a ford 7000 rotavating the hailstones came kept at it got twenty ton of beet per acre the following winter.

We had more hail there about 8:30, just rain now.

There is a bit of a theory that snow or hail is able to trap the atmospheric nitrogen and possibly a few more elements (boron) in a solid form to the ground.
It seemingly doesn't work as well with rain as it vaporizes off the falling rain drop before it hits the ground.
The atmosphere is 78% nitrogen.

High bike

Showing 9% here this evening but felt more like 2 or 3 and a northwesterly wind that would cut u in 2,supposed to pick up after tomorrow

Neddyusa

F*$kn Baltic, icy rain with a bitter North wind.
Would have brought in ewes with small lambs for night if I'd seen forecast to be so bad.

First swallow spotted this morning. Any others?

Horrible morning.
4am trip to Dublin, two accidents on motorway from hail and sleet showers.

It’s clear now but bitterly cold.

Horrid here,rain and hail showers and just 3c :eek: Hill tops are gone white
Some more of this tomorrow

Some signals in the models, indicating high pressure blocking the Atlantic
This often means an easterly wind could set up
That might not be too bad actually as the continent is getting milder and has been relatively mild
It could also mean northerly,NO THANKS
