A little of the cold crunchy morning. It was minus a billion this morning, I think.

One of the (few) benefits of having to check on the herd when itā€™s this cold is that I get to see the sun pop up over Willard Mountain. With the ground so frozen, I was able to plow a nice walking path through this fieldā€¦so if it ever warms up enough to go for a walk, thisā€™ll be nice!

Several years ago, we invested in building this pond. We had been struggling with consistent water supply for the cows, particularly in the winter time. We noticed this spot high in the pasture where there was always a little bit of water running through a small ditch. So, we built a dam on the downhill side of that ditch and dug out a heap of dirt on the uphill side of the dam. Voila - pond! We also installed piping below the dam which travels 4 feet underground to the location of water troughs. One of those troughs is a frost proof drinker that (for the most part!) stays thaw. See my post from last week about how that waterer works. This morning, at -11F, the water was thaw - whew!

This entire system is far from any power source, so having gravity (which is more reliable than the power grid!) is the main reason why this works.

Weā€™ve made a lot of mistakes here at SRF over the years, but this pond is not one of them. Itā€™s nice to get the occasional win!

Sometimes mother nature has interesting games that she likes to play on us. The water for our cows has stayed thaw all week. Up until this morning. It decided to freeze.

Itā€™s a winter wonderland out there! I brought a wagon load of hay out to the back 40 where the spend their winter. The cattle much prefer this type of weather to the dog days of summer.
