Taieri dairy farmer Ad Bekkers said while it was a nuisance, it was winter time and farmers were "all set for this".
"You just feed out a bit more," he said.
John Herbert, of Heriot, said there had been a decent amount of snow in the area.
"We've had six or seven inches up on the farm. Everyone's prepared for this kind of weather in July."
Eloise Neeley, who farms in the Katea Valley, near Owaka, woke up to "lots of snow" yesterday. Farmers had no major issues with feeding stock and most were well prepared for the wintry blast.
"Hopefully we'll get all the snow now while it's winter and not in September," Mrs Neeley said.
Clarks Junction farmer Anne Beattie, described the snow as the depth of "three-quarters of a possum cage", or about 20cm.
North Otago Federated Farmers president Richard Strowger also reported "no dramas".
Ewe were still a month off lambing and while there would be the odd, early calf, farmers were set up to deal with that.
Long-time PGG Wrightson stock agent Glenn Hopkinson said it was the first time he had seen snow at the weekly Waiareka stock sale in Oamaru.
There was a very small yarding and gallery yesterday.
Nicky Gibson was feeding her horse Clarry before helping her husband Scott feed stock on a farm they lease at Ardgowan.
There had been a "good dumping" of snow around their home on Rosebery Rd, which she estimated was "a couple of foot" deep in some places. There was even ice on the inside of the windows of their new house.
Apart from being cold and hungry, stock were fairly unfazed by the snow, Mrs Gibson said.
Paerau farmer Susan Elliot said there was about 20cm of snow on Lammermoor Station but it was "no drama".
"We just farm for this stuff," she said. "It's a nuisance, but we expect it and we're better off getting it now than in spring," she said.
The temperature had remained below zero degrees for several days, so she expected the frozen snow to "stray around a while".
