Having animals to take care of necessitates being out in the elements every day….even when I would really like to just stay in the house and stay warm! With 160 cows and calves to feed every day [plus assorted chickens, cats, horses, and goats] I have no choice but to keep them fed…and the colder the weather the more they need to keep healthy. At this time were feeding three big round bales every day, plus having out protein tubs and mineral on a free choice basis. In addition, the continuous sub freezing temperatures have forced us to move all our water needs to our main creek, as all our smaller springs, creeks, and ponds freeze over solid. But I am thankful to have some running water and not have to chop ice. I will have to confess that I’m looking forward to Spring!
