Cold weather used to get your calves down, but now they’re singing a different tune. Now, Cow’s Match® ColdFrontTM Calf Milk Replacer can help your calves overcome seasonal challenges brought on by cooler weather. Cow’s Match® ColdFrontTM calf milk replacer is a unique formulation of the same great calf milk replacer that set a higher nutrition standard, now with a new, optimal balance of fat and carbohydrates to provide both higher energy and more quickly mobilized energy sources.

The addition of L-carnitine enhances fatty acid oxidation, thus increasing the ability of calves to better tolerate cold stress.

Protect your calves from the cold with new Cow’s Match® ColdFrontTM formula.

Ranch Potatoes

8 red potatoes 1 cup ranch dressing 1 cup sour cream 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 cup bacon bits salt to taste Cut potatoes into cubes and boil until done, using salt in water for taste. Mix sour cream, dressing, bacon bits and 1/2 of the cheese. Stir into drained potatoes. Spoon mixture into a 9x13 pan and sprinkle with remaining cheese on top. Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes, until potatoes are bubbly.

I usually double this recipe because they never last long at our house or if I take them somewhere for potluck.

Breakfast Egg Bake 1 large bag of frozen shredded hashbrowns 14 eggs 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese 2 cups of ham cubed 1 container of whipping cream Salt and pepper to taste May also add green peppers or onions if you like Break the eggs into a large bowl and whisk until all the eggs are well mixed. Add the hashbrowns, ham,

salt, pepper and other ingredients as you like. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan and then pour the container of whipping cream over the top making sure all is evenly distributed. Put in the fridge over night. In the morning turn your oven on to 350 and bake for about an hour or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. You can also make this egg bake with sausage. Just make sure you cook the sausage before you add it to the egg bake.

Taco Dip

Hamball 1-8 oz package of cream cheese 1/4 cup Hellmans mayonnaise 2 cups ground ham 2 Tbsp. of parsley 1 tsp onion 1/4 tsp dry mustard 1/4 tsp hot sauce Beat the cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover and chill for several hours. Place on a serving platter and enjoy with Ritz Crackers.

This is always a family favorite at the Hinkeldey's at Christmas time.

1-8 oz package of cream cheese 1 16 ounce container of sour cream 1 pkg of dry taco seasoning 1 small jar of taco sauce Lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, black olives, onions Mix the dry taco seasoning, sour cream and cream cheese together in a large bowl. Spread this in the bottom of a cookie sheet pan. Over this mixture spread the jar of taco sauce, then add the lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, black olives and what ever else you like on your taco. Serve with small Tostito Chips.

This is my oldest son's, Marcus, favorite item for me to bring to family get togethers.

30-DAY REGIONAL OUTLOOK Warmer-than-average weather has continued across the region during the last 30 days.

Temperatures have been anywhere from 1 to 3 degrees above the average in most locations. Meanwhile, rainfall amounts have generally been a little below the seasonal average. As summer fades into autumn over the next 30 days, a subtle shift in the weather pattern should occur across the Upper Midwest. This shift will promote temperatures that will be closer to the average. The threat of the first frost and freeze of the season will exist in many spots, especially early in October. Precipitation totals are likely to end up close to average throughout the region during the second half of September and first part of October.
