In Reply to: Winter Storm in north posted by farmaller on November 10, 2014 at 16:50:48:
The storm that came through last October in western SD hit at a time when most cattle were still on summer range, meaning there was very little cover to protect them. Additionally, the temperatures prior to that blizzard were in the 70s, there was a soaking rain prior to the snow, and the cattle did not yet have their winter coats grown in. So many were chilled by the rain and wind before the snow even hit. The storm that arrived here (Northeast SD, West Central MN) last night has been all snow (no rain), the temperatures have been in the 40s for nearly two weeks, the cattle are haired up really well, and most everyone expects winter conditions to happen any time after the first of November around 'here'. So the livestock producers generally have their animals in more protected areas, and the stock do not have to adjust to nearly as much stress. It is still a big change in weather for us, but nowhere near the extreme change that the western ranchers endured last fall.
