By that I mean we have a small 50 cow herd and have no hired help. The severe weather is a reminder of how important it is to work together. We have modern convieniences but extra effort is still required to keep the animals warm and feed. Silo unloaders freeze up, doors need to be tight, cracks need to be closed up, extra bedding is needed, tractors need to be plugged in, yards plowed, and still water pipes can freeze in 2008. However I am so grateful that I can just push a button and I can have a warm home. I can`t imagine also having to cut wood just to keep warm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
