[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 238097, member: 704"] That sure brought back memories. My dad had a heart attack when I was in the seventh grade and I had to take care of the farm. We had about 80 Herefords cows and 30 yearlings. I would set the alarm for 1:00am and get up to check for new calves. It was about -10 that March and I didn't loose a calf. One calf did loose it's rear foot, both ears, the end of it's nose and it's tail, but it lived. Had a big hump in it's back from moving around the pasture with only one hind foot. We knew the sales ring would not give a decent price for that calf, but turns out that big hump was backstrap muscle so we enjoyed it. He laid behind the wood stove for a day and a half. People had bomb shelters in their basements and school would often have a drill where you got under your desk or went into the isle and kneeled with your head between you knees. Us kids called it the bend over and kiss your ass goodbye position. [/QUOTE]
