everyone is doing great here. except for me being the one to do all the feeding!! doesn't seem like it affected any of our animals. especially our dog, got a dog house and more bedding then he could want and prefers to sleep out side in the snow!! lol

We had -58 F for 2 days straight, blowing wind on an almost constant basis. My goats didn't leave their barn, just filled their faces with as much food as they could shove in their throats and drank lots of water. My girls are due to kid in February, so hopefully the weather has regulated by then. I think as long as they can stay dry and out of the wind, they fair alright.

Goats seen to be fine. I have a chicken who doesn't seem so good. I saw her limping yesterday, thinking maybe she got sone frostbite on her foot but itlooked fine. Today she is still limping and using her wing to keep from falling over and doesn't run from me when I try to catch her. IDK what is wrong or what to do.
