If you’re like me, you’re watching the forecast and trying to get ahead of it before it hits. We’re looking at a real Oklahoma blizzard—below zero for about 120 hours and 10–12 inches—so my goal today was simple: keep everybody warm, dry, and out of that wind. I started by bedding down our annex coops with thick straw, making a few quick changes so the chickens can stay comfortable without getting buried. And yes… they immediately kicked straw everywhere like they always do. Jeremy rolled in with a load of used 4x10 OSB panels (still solid), and that’s exactly the kind of “doesn’t have to be fancy to work” farm prep I love. With Preston and Parker helping, we made real-time decisions on where wind was going to hit hardest and built wind breaks under the paddock lean-to. We’ve got lambs dropping right before the storm (because of course we do), and with so many babies on the ground, keeping them out of wind and precipitation is critical. We also worked on closing in part of Babycow’s lean-to so the sheep, donkey, Highland cattle, and horses can eat, drink, and hit the protein tubs with a lot less misery. No rush, no shortcuts—just practical problem-solving to get us through what’s coming.
