A farmer films his completely snow-covered animals from a tractor.
The images are reminiscent of apocalyptic scenes.
Blizzard snows in animals: centimeters of snow on cows
A South Dakota farm shared the extent of the blizzard in a video on Facebook.
The filmed animals on the pasture look almost snowed in.
A cow walks directly in front of the lens.
You can see that there is centimeters of snow on their horns.
The snow also seems to stick to her body.
Thick clumps of snow stick to the face and also to the rest of the body.
In the background you can clearly see how the wind whips the snow around.
The farm wrote about the video that there was about 20 centimeters of snow at the time.
Despite the weather, the cows are supposed to be doing well.
The animals' skin and hair provide good insulation and protect the cows, according to the farm's Facebook page.
