Glad to hear that Teresa is home safe and glad the roads were already cleaned up.

What did the animals think of the fog freezing on them?

It is the Ag Improvement program. Our small scale limits us to the max the state will pay is $3500 but it's all good.

None of the critters including the dogs were using any shelter. They aren't bothered by too much of anything.

Glad to hear she made it safely home and it wasn't a morning flight to meet in that kind of fog at those temps.....it has the tendency to cause a whole bunch of chain reaction accidents with the slickness of the pavement and being blinded to how close ya might be to it. The Ag program sounds like a good one and certainly will go a good ways to defray the cost on ya.....

That still sounds good. A little bit of something beats a whole lot of nothing.

We are getting ready to call the sheep into the barn to check them over and take some fecals but before opening the gate I took a shot of them at a round bale they have been working on. I'm surprised they can still jump that high as fat as they are.
The other is a few of the chickens out by the house getting some free range time.

Kinda funny that the sheep jump on top of the round bale and eating from it on top.

I mistakenly posted a picture in @mystang89 s thread so I deleted it so as not to clutter it up. I'm reposting it here so I'll know where to look if I want to see it again. The first picture is me doing my Border Collie imitation and moving the sheep to the handling area. I don't like to use the dogs when we are going to be working with them hands on because they stay calm walking through the fields and we can check all we want and they don't become stressed. It makes it easier on us as well as the sheep. It only took us a little over an hour to check condition and do Famacha checks on the whole herd.
The other picture is one we took of the calves today.
