it wasn't bad as long as I was working, but by the time we got the ditch running, my pantlegs were SOLID ice, about 1/2" thick, so were my shoelaces. I ended up using the heat gun to thaw the shoelaces so I didn't have to wait for them, meaning the gallon of water on my legs would run down into my boots before I got them off. Cows were a bit more hungry for a while, upped their hay from 7 bales to 10 for the coldest spell, and gave them higher alfalfa hay too... had to keep their stoves going. They didn't even look for shelter, and for that I give credit to the shorthorns, they know how to grow fur
I'm working on a new breed of cow called "Michelin", I'd just love to say
"Because a lot is riding on your bull"
