18 degree Buffalo

The ground is covered with snow, and it's only 18 degrees in the middle of the afternoon, so winter is back in Kansas.

The Visitors Center is quiet with few people driving out here to our farm this week. I'm spending the uninterrupted time doing employee W2's, and getting ready for our tax appointment next week.

Occasionally I look out the window to see what the buffalo herd it up to. Yesterday they ran by pell mell for some reason...maybe just to warm up!

This morning Verne was driving out to the pasture with a bale of Sudan Grass on the tractor as the herd was coming in for their morning drink of water. Verne had to raise the bale higher because the buffalo thought it would be fun to eat it right off the tractor's fork. The buffalo are always curious of what’s coming into their pasture.

After the herd moved past, Verne drove out to the bale feeder to drop the bale in. The buffalo will munch of this bale during the week between foraging on the snow-covered pasture.
