Winter weather has hit the farm. Nighttime temps have been in the single to negative digits and everyone is miserable. I got a bucket of warm water for the piggies and went to do a few other things outside only to come back in a hour to find ice forming on the top. Nothing works right when it is this cold the vacuum pump for the milker is sluggish even with a heat lamp, the water spigot by the milk barn is frozen and we have to haul water(what a pain) and the lights above Mable's stanchion won't come on. I don't mind the cold but the freezing cold is a whole other category...

Hope this deep level of cold doesn't last too long. Taking care of the animals ...phew that sounds hard.
You got that right. There's cold and then there's killer cold. We're right there with you with no end in sight any time soon.
Stay warm.
