A massive cold-front is headed our way! Temperatures will hit below -50 degrees F. Even for Montana that is INSANELY cold. The cows need food and water prepped ASAP. Climb in the tractor (John Deere 7700 mfwd) with me while I bring hay to the fields, chip ice away with an axe at the watering hole, and get work done while it is dropping below zero.
Come along in the tractor as we drive across a working Montana cattle ranch. Tour the ranch. From fields to corrals, past the log barn, picking up hay bales to feed to black Angus cattle--while the snow blows and the icy wind whips against the tractor.
This Montana weather is dangerous and down right deadly to man and animals unless food, water, and shelter are sorted out in time. See start to finish how the John Deere leaves the warm shop and heads out into a snowstorm. Robbie grabs hay bales with the 7700 and hauls them out to the cattle herd. He then hops out of the tractor to swing an axe and chip away the ice from the water trough. He rolls out extra hay and straw for the cows to keep warm in. He drives past the windbreaks that will shelter the cows when this terrible storm hits.
Once all the work is done, Robbie heads back with the tractor to the ranch shop where warmth awaits. The cattle are sorted. Be sure to subscribe and check in next week to learn how the cows handled the storm. Ranch work is never finished.
