Before it is cold enough that you think you are gonna die, it hurts to breathe!

True...i get that at 10F though with a strong wind but maybe i am a whimp lol.

Yes! the painful to breath... and I feel you @misfitmorgan I choose to walk a mile give or take in the sky walk system which has not so great heat but instead of walking the 2.5 blocks outside down by the great lake superior I will take it! We have to pay for our parking or have to park 5 blocks up the steep duluth hill if we want street parking for free. Ugh. No thanks...

I can manage about -5 especially when conditioned.

i think half the problem is i go from 90F aka living room directly outside to 10F or lower and out to the wood pile which has no cover at all and the wind whips through. If i'm say in the barn im fine...cause no wind. Not to mention i have really long hair and it makes it hard to see in the wind

Well, my girls look to be starting to show . May is getting a bit of a belly as is olive. May is a doe who is "lean" no matter what. She just doesn't get fat. She's not boney or underweight, just maintains a nice and even body type and she's getting wider. Olive.... She tends to get a bit..... Pudgy but nothing too bad. she can just look a little preggo on occasion but only during the summer and when she has lots of greens to munch. Usually she stays consistent during the cold winter months. Tilda is a hard one to see anything.... She has such a thick body that she hasn't changed a lot yet I don't think. And scarlet.... Well, I don't even know if rebel has done anything yet with her so we will see I guess. She's also a very large doe and wider in basically every way than may. I can't wait for my turn for kids lol

Thanks! We won't be planning on keeping any back this year as I'd really like to get a doe from certain lines to add in and maybe another buck from unrelated lines but.... We will see. I'm not ready to make that leap in adding more yet. I really like the number I have lol.

Would the doe be a nubian?
