Got a frozen line at the house but the heated Richie Automatic watering system is fine. So cows got preheated water in the two SS basins that have heating elements underneath to keep the water at about 45 degrees F.
I noticed that during this extreme cold, the wasted hay around the hay rolls is not really wasted. They all bed down around the rolls. I think the cows feet are cold. They walk like they are tender. I see them especially the calves, pick their feet up and shake them in the air, I guess because they hurt.
Other than that, they are doing much better than I thought with what is extreme cold and wind chill for this Latitude.
