Had to check on my Aunt's pet cows in the barn and the water in the little pond is frrozen. |
|
At least on the top.
The cows are fine and warm, with horse blankets on them yet.
The cows are very old and pets.
It is about 20 here and a little windy.

2. Should be a ice show in the morning. |

My aunt's cows are twins, my aunt bottle raised them.
They will follow her around like a dog.
They have plenty to eat and fresh hay, the barn is warm.
The other cattle have pole barns and timber for shelter, and plenty of hay.
These cows do OK.

3. A little extra hay and the cows will do dandy. Be careful leaving them... |
|
in the barn too much, bovine respiratory disease is a risk. Plenty of water as well.
