They were married in 73 and had just bought the farm they live on now that they'd rented a couple of years. They didn't have much for livestock at the time, just couple milk cows, some beef cows, pigs and chickens. Neighbors cows broke out and walked over to their place so they fed them till it was over. Talked alot of a guys cows near Towner that broke out and went with the wind down hwy 2 and died by york and leeds. It was a nasty one.We're calving pretty good now. About 10 a day through this storm, Its been hell but almost everything is still alive, barns are full, and feeding some calves that the cows wouldn't follow in and can't chase em, to much snow to get around. Need the wind to quit and some warmer weather but that ain't happening till late next week. These next few really cold nights with wind are going to be long and stressfull. I remember the blizzard of 97, i was still in high school, parents maybe had 75 beef cows and had just started calving, we all took turns then going out every hour to check them and dragging them in the barn in a sled on foot, only had a 2wd atv then. That storm was worse for amount of snow but it warmed up quick afterwards, this one just won't quit. Drought from hell last year, winter from hell, and now calving season from hell. Makes me wonder why I chose to do this but the bad times will pass and it'll get better.</blockquote>
