Trudging up the steep hills with buckets of water, for this many animals, to the barn, paddocks, & the muscovy run is truly NOT my idea of a good time. If we were 30yrs younger, no problem - but, we aren't, and I'm now trying to decide which 4leggers I will sell off, as soon as I get them chipped, to be compliant, for legal livestock sales. I love them. They're more pets to us, than 'livestock'. But, something has to give, and I'd prefer it wasn't me.

K Kaba wrote:The simplest path to that might be fewer critters. But it might also be worth musing about the current systems? Water storage locations, passive water heating, critter "winter home" options, maybe something wheeled to make a hill easier, or an afternoon of someone's time to change that hill. I dunno? But like you said, there's love there. And it's easy to get caught in answers that worked a decade ago that don't work now.

Our county has almost no budget for snow mitigation. Just salt on the main roads, and plows intended for the state highways only. We're 2 miles from an occasionally plowed road.

At most, folks stayed home for a day or two with no risk of starvation. When we get snow here in the north, even a foot of it, grocery doors don't sell out of anything.
Thank you in advance to everyone for their replies, help, and suggestions! Forgive me if I miss any replies, I'm still learning how to keep up with threads I participate in!
