Cold, Cold, Cold



We've been experiencing cold weather. Not just cold, but COLD. The daytime highs are not above freezing. We have electric buckets, and the boys are alternating between field #3 during the day and field #1 overnight. The bucket in field #1 seems to not be working and is frozen over.

He worked on the outlet and discovered a faulty switch, a trip to the BigOrangeBox, and moving the outlet into an upside-down position, power was restored. It was still cold, freezing.

We do have blankets for the boys, but usually don't blanket unless it is cold AND windy. It was breezy, but not horrid. I gave all of them extra hay; hay makes them warm. They all are getting fuzzy, like bears. I know I wouldn't want to spend the night outside, but they do have shelter, if they want.

I closed the aisle doors and left Lil Fred's stall open. The littles were spending the night inside, dry and out of the wind. When I went in to check water and turn lights out, etc., Sprite was in Fred's stall, flat on the floor for a snooze. The radio was loud enough that I was not heard, and was behind the tractor in the sight line. So very cute, those two!
