calving

 We are going to the north side with the cows.  Yesterday I turned the water on there and got water in one of the two tanks.  The other, along with the entire south side is still frozen.  Frost is not gone yet, I suppose because the soil is quite dry, enabling the frost to go deep.  This spring requires a lot of patience. We'll find out how long the sod holds up there under the impact.  Depends on the weather.  It is likely that we will need to provide some kind of windbreak to protect from the north and east, if the weather forecast is to be believed.
