[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1477605, member: 17956"] I try to be as ready as I can. Tank heaters, where possible. Tractors where they can be started. I do all my "normal" chores, and try not to do any extra. I was out almost day yesterday. Fed 11 rolls of hay. Fed the calves I'm backgrounding morning and afternoon. Had a big calf stuck in a hay ring. Had to get the generator, sawsall, and drop cords out. It all takes time. we have 10 inches of snow on the ground, and 10 degree weather today. My worst problem is my immediate family fails to prepare whatsoever. I have to haul some water for my dad. Feed for my brother, and father. Take my sister in law to and from work, and haul my two nieces to their destinations. My dad is old, and doesn't need to get out, and my brother works long hours. The women folk at his house, need to get more self sufficient. My nieces are in their early 20's. To make a silent point, I usually send my two girls to his house to feed. Ages 10 and 13. [/QUOTE]
