So far, I haven't had to break ice. I have heaters in the horses water troughs, and the cows are getting their water out of the branch. But, that's about to change as I noticed it is pretty much frozen over now. I could put a heater back in the cattle water trough, but that's water I have to buy, and I like free water. Had to haul out a few rolls of hay today, and had the NH plugged in all morning. It started faster than it does in hot weather. I really don't mind cold weather, if it weren't for the animals. There is no easy way to take care of them when it's this cold. I've got a problem in my well house, and have never had it happen before as it's doing now. It's froze somewhere, despite having heat in it. I'm not needing it now, but I don't like it not working.
Oh well, come August in Kentucky with the humidity and high temps making me feel miserable, I'll look back on this cold snap and it won't seem so bad.
