But I can’t think of anything. Wait, there is one ad vantage to such numbing cold Once the outside air turns that bitterly nasty, our usual winter lows of 20 degrees seem relatively bearable by comparison. In fact, we almost start to perspire when the ther mometer climbs to a balmy 32 degrees and Jack Frost’s masterpieces dissolve m dirty drops sliding down the wall of the calf pen. Zero and howling wmd is uncomfortable, inconvenient and expensive for everyone who has to go outside for any reason, start up a vehicle or pay to heat a home. But zero and howling wmd on a farm, with livestock outside to tend, equals sheer non-stop, 24-hour frustration Let the weatherman merely breathe a hint of an Arctic air mass headed this way from Canada and our pipes to the heifer barns start swelling with an ticipation of a rest from regular water deliveries. Then, watering animals, which we normally take for granted, becomes a slip, slide and carry-from-the barn-over-the-icy-blacktop twice-a-day marathon On being a farm wife - And other hazards Joyce Bupp And every livestock producer (and his wife) knows that animals gulp down hand-carried water with three times the gusto o£ the ordinary stuff that flows out at the touch of a nose to an automatic fountain Other interesting oc currences further com plicate sub-zero weather farming. Tractor batteries slip into a coma and refuse to stir to life without at least an hour of intravenous persuasion via a battery charger Unloaders turned onto dig out silage frozen on top of a packed and matted pile of chopped corn immediately sputter, groan and bust a belt. The cement block that I use to block the calf barn door either open or shut, as needed, freezes to the ground, necessitating a field goal type kick and poten tially bruised toe before it yields. And inside the calf barn during the bout with bitter weather last week, even the dram to the sink froze shut That gave us a scenic little immature skating nnk on which the calf nurser bottles skidded around aimlessly as we attempted to fill them There is one more nice thing that can be said about such weather It makes last summer’s weeks of hot humid air a pleasant memory
