LOGAN — On Jan. 11, 2000, a windstorm blew through Blacksmith Fork Canyon and Mike Clawson lost half his herd of dairy cows in one night.
The cows didn’t die, said Clawson of Clawson and Sons Dairy in Hyrum, but they were damaged beyond repair. The icy wind caused more than 100 cows’ teats to freeze. Once this happens, scabs form, and milk can no longer be extracted.
