🐴❄️ Winter on the Ranch ❄️🌾
Winter storms can be tough, but ranchers and farmers are tougher. As the cold weather rolls in, here are some tips to keep your ranch running smoothly:

1️⃣ Protect Your Livestock: Ensure shelters are secure, and keep bedding dry and plentiful to ward off the chill.
2️⃣ Check Water Sources: Break up ice in troughs and keep heaters running to provide access to fresh water.
3️⃣ Stock Up on Feed: Ensure plenty of high-quality feed is available, as animals need more energy in colder weather.
4️⃣ Prep Equipment: Keep fuel tanks full, and check that tractors and generators are ready for action.
5️⃣ Mind Your Safety: Wear insulated boots, layer up, and take breaks to avoid overexposure to the cold.

The work doesn’t stop, but a little preparation goes a long way in making winter more manageable. Share your winter ranching routines and photos with us! We’d love to feature the hardworking heart of rural America. 💪🐂
