When I went out to do morning chores everyone was unhappy! I tossed out extra to try and keep the peace in the herd. I'm sure glad I have blankets and sheets on a majority of the herd. Everyone except Thor was covered in ice. Thor is the smart one and tucks himself into the leanto to stay dry where everyone else is out in the pen wandering around.
I already have some of the stalls set up for tonight. Everyone will be going in tonight. It's simply too terrible for anyone to stand out in this wind. And I want to make sure they actually GET some hay. A third of what I threw out this morning is already in the next county. Gotta love South Dakota. One day it's calm and sunny and the next we're in a blizzard.
And as I'm typing this, it sounds like the freezing rain is starting back up. Guess I'll be going out early to get everyone snug in their stalls.
Because I'm craving green instead of white, I'll leave with a picture from the Black Hills
