Ya'll are really catching it. I feel for ya and I get it! Every year when the temps get this bad I swear I'm selling everything. And every year when we have those triple digit days, I also swear I'm also selling everything. Why can't I just do it?

My winter storm wasn't nearly as bad as everyone else's winter storm and I'm thankful for that. Hauling water is a _itch no matter what, where or how much. I was hauling 20 gallons of warm water at a time. I moved a smallish trough into the barn. I guess being bored from being inside all day...

Holy Cow - you've been through it! Hope the next kidding goes smoothly!

I'm sure they appreciate all your work!

Wow - that's awful. That poor girl/woman. I'm afraid it's not just there. :( Sorry your kiddos are sick - hope it runs its course quickly!

Yikes!

I had a friend with a beautiful white horse. Her registered name was Casper's Cousin.

I saw that same story. Has apple pie overtaken brownies as the preferred comfort food?

That is the key!

We're getting some of this - but nothing like what ya'll are facing. Hope everyone makes it through with a minimum of problems. Stay warm ya'll!

ZERO? As in really ZERO? That's ridiculous. I'd opt out of that for sure!

Totally forgot about this: My teenage neighbor shows market wethers. They never had goats until last year when she got into FFA. She called me one day to give her some advice on clipping one of her goats so next door I went. I was looking at the goat on the stand, and I noticed that he was...

Wish I had words of wisdom but I've never dealt with it to that degree. Occasionally if I'm way behind on trims I'll have one that starts a bit of splay but after a good trimming they resolve. If he has other outstanding qualities, I "might" consider breeding him to a doe with outstanding...

How does her udder look Most of my does udders will blow up within about 6 - 12 hours or so of kidding - give or take a few hours. Ligaments will literally feel like they disappeared. If she's not too fat you can probably see the hollowing out of the area on both sides of the tail. Does can...

Mine were mostly pastured but always got some grain. Mostly because I like a good lard pig to have a good bit of lard, lol. Plus, I always had mixed groups. Mama's raising babies and babies that needed to grow. Also makes them a bit friendlier if they know you have goodies.

Gotta have coffee - and brownies. Brownies are mandatory in storms!

I'm hoping the same thing and we're not getting nearly as cold as ya'll are!

Glad you got some answers! (and meds!)

THAT!! I absolutely agree with all of the above. DH will occasionally ask me why I do what I do. WHY? Because I love it - even the hard parts. And if I didn't I'd be a giant couch potato, lol. We're both January babies too! I'll hit 70 later this month. Time sure flies!

I need to take a lesson!
