Do Your Pets & Livestock Have Adequate Shelter During The Coldest Part Of Winter?

We are in the deep-freeze this week all week and probably most of next week, lows some days will be below zero, setting records for where I live. A news anchor mentioned how the cows have newborn calves right now and are out in pastures and the calves can freeze their tails off, and the other anchor added that cows can freeze their udders off. I can’t imagine trying to keep the cows warm enough when it’s that cold.

My dog lays under the heating vent so it blows on her.

@curiosi smart dog. I once put a chair over the heating vent in the bedroom that was my computer room, we had a cold front that came in and I propped my legs on that chair and put a blanket over the chair to capture the heat while I sat there using my computer. It felt good, the howling wind made the house colder even with the heater going so much.
