The morning animal rounds always seem to be that little bit harder when the weather is really cold.
The animals are all extra hungry - grass not available for grub, plus they use extra energy to keep themselves warm - so it's extra rations.
They are thirsty as well, as all of the water buckets are frozen over, the ice needs breaking and they need topping up as well. Luckily for me, it wasn't that cold as the water butts were not frozen, so I was able to top up water without having to carry buckets from the house to the fields - now that's a job that really does take some time!
Thankfully, I didn't have to that today!
Sun is now warming up nicely!
