The Overby Ranch at Binford, North Dakota has about 20 percent of its calving complete. After digging out from last week’s snowstorm, Megan Overby says additional weather challenges are on the way. “We’re finally getting some melting weather, but they’re talking cold rain this weekend which for fresh baby calves is probably more detrimental than any blizzard ever would be; we’re just making preparations to get pens cleared, bedding down and finding places for those new calves to take shelter.” County and township roads are still dealing with incredible snow drifts. “I definitely applaud anybody who has had to work in a plow this winter because it hasn’t been an easy feat to keep up.” These gravel roads are soft and impassable in many areas.
