Winds are coming up. Temps are down. The cloth masks LeeAnn made and distributed for Covid the first year because our rag tag health system couldn't provide them are now coming in handy to keep my old nose from freezing further in than it already has.
First round today shows field diesel gelled in the barrel. We didn't get winter fuel in there in time, or the supplier didn't get the soya diesel pulled out in time in the fall. Ditto with the one tractor that has two tanks where the soya tends to sit in the bottom tank bedeviling us all winter. Skidloader lives in the barn, so that will be alright.
Cattle at their windbreaks are doing fine. We feed by rolling out on the snow in winter. May have to use the skidloader today for that.
Even the just weaned calves are doing all right. Everything is burning through a lot of hay though.
Pigs are pretty comfortable in their deep straw beds even if the hoop sheds are fairly open. So now to wait it out.
We just have to avoid doing stupid stuff until Saturday when it begins to back off. And hope the wind and snow doesn't take the power lines down.
