All snow here, up to probably 3 inches now I guess. The sheep have been outside grazing in it all day. I threw some hay out for them before I left to go to work and they were happily eating it.
Snow!!

Silly question I guess, but should I do anything special for my sheep when it goes down to 14 degrees later this week? I know they are wearing wool, but I am new to this and I just can't imagine that the sheep aren't aware that the weather is frigid....
No, they will be fine as long as they have an area to get out of any wind. We probably only get as low as the 20s, but the sheep still enjoy being outside in the cold. They get extra wooly in the winter, esp on their legs and faces, to stay warm. Its like they dont even notice it haha

Thanks. I keep seeing them all wringing wet and see the cold freezing everything around them and wish I could at least get them dry...

Goats haven't been out of the barn since the first flakes hit the ground a couple weeks ago.

our chickens don't like the snow either. Just got about 3.5" more between yesterday and this morning.
