Ryan covered the ranch while I attended a 7 day Rohatsu Sesshin at the Berkeley Zen Center. Cows stayed in NBW8 grazing through 5 strips.

The day starts nice then turns windy and colder with a storm approaching. The cows started to move away from calve. We hope to trail to Big Wall tomorrow if it is not too snowy.
Perfect day- 50 degrees, mild and calm. Chores and some fencing. Third day of weaning.
No wind and warmer today. Second day of weaning and it is always the loudest.
Turning warmer. We trigger weaning. Trail pairs to grassy lot with hay. When full and watered, the pairs are cut quietly in small groups-cows often splitting off on their own-fence line weaning at its best.
North east wind brings snow (1 inch). The day was just uncomfortable enough to postpone weaning another day. Three rough-legged hawks sighted.
Wind intensifies with damage around state. SG6. We are using the new water tank and pipeline on the NW corner of Pad 6 just north of the creek.
SG4. We keep delaying weaning due to heavy winds that finally calmed on the 19th.
