HA.. I love the shot of the rooster. Definitely a cheeky little monkey and horning in on their heat lamp. Too cute.

Royd,
Looks like I got more snow then you did. It was a real pain doing the chores this morning. I knew I wouldn't be able to find the pig feeders, but I at least expected to find the pigs! The drifts were bad. Up against every door on the place it seems. I had to shovel my way out to milk the cows, shovel my way to the water troughs and dig them out. I fired up the tractor to plough through the drifts out to the chickens and pigs. The piglet hut was completey drifted over and they couldn't break out for breakfast. The door tarp was firmly anchored under 4 ft. drifts. They got breakfast in bed; I crawled in through the back hatch where I shovel in the bedding. Good thing I had a round bale set down in front of it and it stopped the drifts from blocking the back too badly. Dug the piglets out later but there was too much snow for them to get around much.
I was missing a Beltie steer this morning, I guess he was sleeping in, because I darned near run over him when I was feeding the cows. He was completely drifted over and must have been feeling snug as a bug. The cows all had access to shelter, but many of them didn't use it.

Only thinking about you this morning and how you were coping - glad you didn't run him over lolanimalfarm said:Royd,
