Texas Gets A Snow Day

Record-Breaking Cold here in Texas! This is a walk-about showing how our babies are handling it.

[@williamsanders5117]

Is it my imagination? The horses seemed to be more energized after getting their blankets. Rearing up and mild galloping.

[@blkmjcwmn61]

Yes, they look so much happier...wonder if it's the blankets or the stalls?

[@deedeeiam]

It's because they were trapped in stalls all night and unable to walk around. Horses are constantly moving, so when you take that away from them, they have built up energy. The blankets were needed, the stalls, not so much.

[@williamsanders5117]

@@deedeeiam Could be true since all of them seem to run wild after being let out. Another thing a horse person told me is that only the soiled hay should be cleaned on a daily basis as the smell reassures the horses in single stalls.

I luv how Pearl is hanging out w/Moo!

[@vickiefinn8173]

That is cute, they're friends.

[@traceyboyer8839]

I was thinking the same thing! I noticed them together in the barn and in the pasture. Uncle Moo is watching over Pearl. I bet he snuggled up with her over night to keep her warm. He's the sweetest!

That was a GREAT move there for GLORIA and CORNHOLIO

[@pickytwo222]

That was a great idea to put Cornholio and Gloria in the well house!

[@mariarohmer2374]

Lester that “oven” you made for the turkeys was genius. Gosh, this was a lot work for you guys.😦So glad the farm has power.👍🏽

[@sandra101705]

it was for the pipes to not bust i think and then the turkeys benifited from it.. I think lol

[@hilmanorton6908]

[@myPaperrosie]

The animals will need a little bit more feed because it takes more energy to keep warm. I’m not sure how long you’ll be in freezing weather, but if you see that the pond is freezing up, you can put a bubbler in it. Moving water does not freeze. I am hoping you are doing well. I’ve been watching the news with pile ups on the roadways and that the power is out. I’m hoping you have a generator for your house. Keep us updated if you can Lester. We are worried about you all.

[@allison3982]

By Saturday it should be out of freezing temps here. It will start hitting 50 and going up from there. (They are 12 mins from me)

[@lesare8454]

I hope he thawed or gave them all water, Babies, horses probably needed it from all night. Thanku Allison for update, Lucky you, wish I lived closer to them! Seen the news, weather across the south, mideast, some freezing storms, prayers for all in those.🙏💗

I live in Iowa couple a week ago I had to pick up my 94 year old neighbor from a rehab center when to get her and could not get into my car they was frozen shut and it was even in the garage at the back door open and finally got the diver side open.and got her

[@nancylpowers4778]

This was fun, Anyone notice? Maggie gave an eye roll to Lester and Jamie at the end?

[@lullysmommyify]

Lester u have to stop apologizing for everything like your well house. You have got one of the most amazing and loving farms/sanctuary ever. You take such good care of all the babies. Anyways, we say "we don't come to visit to look at your house, we come to see you." ❤❤

[@gcgunderson9517]

Aye aye!!!

[@ritzcrackers9416]

Lester & Jamie you guys rock. With the horrible conditions that Texans are going through, you guys still positive. Thanks for showing us how the babies are doing!!

[@shishkebab5306]

Don't panic over the snow on the animals backs Lester, it just means their natural insulation is working.

[@blkmjcwmn61]

Very true!

[@estherreeves8432]

I was just going to say the same thing. If there is snow or ice on top of the cattle and horses that is good. If they are wet then it is not good. The snow and ice means underneath their outer coat then they are warm. If they are wet that means their heat is excapeing and they loosing their heat.

‘It’s like going in your sisters room when you’re little’ 😂 so true. They are like children. They want to see if ‘brother’ may have had some good snacks and left some

[@ginadiamante4642]

It's amazing watching a video how I see from the eyes of someone that doesn't have snow versus living with snow every Winter how annoying it is but watching snow from your eyes Lester makes me realise the little things we take for granted Like the 1st time you see cat 🐾 in the snow how wonderful it is thank you Lester i love your videos i look forward everyday for them 💞

[@sandra101705]

us southern people don't get snow and of the whole thing I wanted to do what brinleigh was doin eat the snow!! being from FL it snowed one year here 1989!! so if I was lest I'd be amazed at the whole thing!

[@margarethdekeijser6380]

I like the way Voodoo and Bucky are enjoying themselves in the snow. Great to watch.🥰❤👍

🤣🤣🤣😁

[@leannadelone5696]

This is fabulous!! Jamie did a great job getting those horse blankets secured. The horses are very happy. Your engines all seem to be responding well. Love that you have "piggies in the straw"-- going off the song Turkey in the Straw. Petunia is pretty toasty and will not be happy if you force her away from her nest. The turkeys are perfectly happy. Buckee is a thirsty boy and Dixie, like all girls, needs a "no boys allowed" sign.🤭 The geese want corn and worms, don't even notice the cold.

[@jsnanax4.]

Awwww. Maggie. I love that girl. Thank you Lester.

[@glennapotish6019]

Spraying WD-40 in the car locks will keep them from freezing, can also spray along the rubber gasket of the car door will help the door from sticking. It's so good to see everyone did so well overnight, good job on all your preparations!!

[@lexjohnson0803]

Please read!! The snow on Tex and Santianna actually means they are very well incubated. If the snow was melting then that would be a problem. The fact it’s not melting means they’re nice and* cozy!

[@lindalowe8341]

Cool, I didn't know that but it makes sense. Sorta like on a roof of a house.

[@dottiscamprunamuck2830]

Yep

[@cupcake110473]

Yep! I watch another KZbinr “Our Wyoming Life” and they explained how the snow on their cow herd is actually a good thing.

[@amandawhitehouse6563]

Same with horses. If it were melting that means the heat is escaping. It's probably just a shock to them because they're not used to that kind of cold.

[@ImNotInLoveItsJustAGameWeDo]

Lester, the layer over the Longhorns (Santianna and Tex) means their coats are keeping them nice and toasty warm!! Look how well insulated they are, and how good their coats are at keeping warmth in and the cold out! The snow and ice on their backs shows you how efficient their bodies and coats are at doing what they do! Horses, cattle goats etc. When they are cold will shiver just like we do! They were nice and toasty warm in that bed you laid out for them!!!❤️❤️❤️ They did just fine overnight! One more thing I want to add is keep an eye on your horses for those coats making them too warm. A horse sweating under a blanket can make them ALOT more cold with a blanket on than having the coat off. You will want to remove their coat, dry it out, allow the horses to dry completely before throwing it back on. ❤️💗❤️💗 We oftentimes have to remove our blankets and do that here in Ontario Canada. And the horses have to check each stall because there may be some snacks left behind that they can have/share! 🤣😂🤣 Our horses do it too!😂🤣😂 How you prepared ALL of your babies for this snap of cold weather shows how much you love each and every one of your babies.
