"Hay" John,
Sorry I missed and didn't reply to this/your post earlier. That being said, thanks for the memories depicted. I recall almost that exact scene a "few" years ago, just outside Laramie in the PLains Lakes area where the little tykes were falling/birthing into snow, ice , wind and temps waaayyyyy below nada. In sympathy, it made me eschew beef for at least a week, well, may be a day or two.
