Peaches eating hay because Pocket does is so endearing. How sweet is it that Peaches finally has a best friend?!

[@karencross1964]

The hay is of highest quality as well. Boss lady knows her stuff.😀

[@cynthiahurry-asoulsearcher729]

We learned in science class that hot water freezes faster than cold. Something about the molecules being separated already? Who else remembers?

[@mindyross8450]

I remembered something like that... It's been Negative Temps here, so I still start out with hot water for my chickens, BUT, the distance from my back door to my chicken coop is a good bit, and by the time i get there & pour it into their waterers, it's barely warm. lol.

[@phyllisbrostrom7348]

I do 😊

[@bettyhutcheson9318]

I do, I fill ice trays with hot water

[@psce9411]

I was going to say the same thing.😁😁

[@autisticme8348]

I use warm water for my ice cube trays.

[@MariannWarner]

I think I understand why Rocky jumps on you - he remembers how you saved his life from the parvo, and he’s so grateful he just can’t contain himself!! You’re his beloved mama!!

[@juliettefields7202]

How do you do it? It is sooo cold! Take care and keep warm!❤

[@judithrivin2031]

That’s what I thought about Ricky. Not easy for Brooke to remain upright sometimes. But watching him do that can be touching.

[@melengle7197]

Look at baby Matilda her little horns are coming in. She’s so cute

[@blessedtexan9601]

The dogs can see more of the farm from the top of that dirt.❤

[@angelawebb6987]

Lol. Lol

[@catherineteiger8429]

I just love the bond that has formed between Peaches and Pocket. ❤

[@jenwinter4355]

From B.C. We went to the second hand store and bought a used crockpot. In really cold snaps we use it as a chicken waterer on the lowest setting. No freezing and they love the warmer water.

[@leecarlson9713]

That is a creative use for an old slow cooker.

[@lynnclark4208]

Great idea!

[@Oldmadbattleaxe]

Cool

[@barbaragalasso9229]

Great idea..

[@DianePicard-e3n]

That is a good idea, never thought that.

[@joyceharland]

Rocky, Bandit and Foxy playing king of the mountain 😊

[@marthamcconaughey255]

The dogs are up high on the mound so they can see their entire domain. Better to protect their home. 😊

[@lynnebusson]

Hint from a Brit. Wear rubber washing up gloves under your warm gloves on bitterly cold days. That way when doing waterer, etc, if your gloves accidentally get wet, your hands stay dry. Also, I think your hoses are mostly underground, but on days when it is below freezing here, we put manure on any over ground hoses..toastie 😁

[@terryhenderson424]

Back in the day, the old folks (some where between 20 and 200, I was young) used to pile barn cleanings around pipes sticking up out of the ground; even frost free types. It made for a predictable spring clean up but for the most part neither pipes nor thier underground connections froze up.

[@annettaweaver9056]

I use to wear disposable gloves under my winter gloves when I worked in a frozen food plant. It really helped keeping my hands dry and warm.

[@debbyalden55]

Great job heating up the water for the animals. You can tell they enjoy it. Stay warm.

[@carolmiland9665]

​@@terryhenderson424never heard about the cow poop keeping the water pips from freezing. Take care. ❤

[@terryhenderson424]

@carolmiland9665 barn cleanings to include the bedding et al. They stayed pretty dry during the cold.

[@addieaucremanne6214]

I have had cats for decades and have noticed, if the food bowl is not to their standards then they think it is empty 😂

[@marygatdula2744]

I experience the same with my cats!

[@nikkicheshier1791]

Yes my brothers cat same way always have to throw in a few crunchies or she thinks it’s empty and it’s not, silly kitties😹

Did you notice that when talking about the dogs (which I Love!) and walking to where the tree was behind you, that the moon was clearly visible behind your right shoulder! Beautiful edition to the background!

[@lindacable9848]

That’s very true 😂

So does Bandit. She saved him too. They both love their mama 🥰

[@mrdio4625]

the jumping on people is dangerous, both my moms knee caps are held together wit wire and pins thanks to a dog that didn't know simple rules.

[@Briant24681]

We have a Doggie Daycare that always piles up dirt for the dogs and they love it!!

[@rebeccareed6824]

I love seeing the relationship between Peaches and Pocket. So sweet. Bramble really is a beautiful cat.

[@laceitup1]

It's great to see how you and Jason have fixed the feeding and care of all your animals down to a science! I also wanted to point out the cost! Many don't think about that. Living on a farm as a young girl, I know how expensive it is. I commend you both on your dedication and love you give to them all! You all rock the farm life❤

[@beverlyspringer5368]

I would love to watch your goats play on a playground! Bridges, see-saws, ramps! The goats would love it!

[@elenasimon1270]

Science says warm water freezes faster than cold. My father, born on an Iowa farm in 1906, taught me the same.

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

True! It’s called the ‘Mpemba effect’!

[@Oldmadbattleaxe]

Does cold water boil faster than hot?

Yup, hot water freezes faster than cold water.

[@jenniferlashley2081]

Thanks for taking us along on your morning routine. It's so fun to watch the dogs playing on the "hound mound!" You and Jason do such a great job! You put a big smile on my face!

[@luannetuenge9196]

The dog babies love the mound of dirt!

[@deannaharby5677]

I enjoy hearing everything about feeding and taking care of the animals---neve gets old!!!

[@faithrada]

Agreed.. Back when I had farm animals... I would love the routine. Now I get to live vicariously through Brooke & Jason. Love counting the eggs too. : ) 🥚 🥚

[@kathleenlucht1921]

Thank you, Brooke 🥰

[@robbiebarroll5102]

Thank you both for taking such great care of your wonderful animals.

[@Lala_Listens]

Matilda's lil nubs.... aka horns are sooo precious!! 🐮🐄🐮🐄🐮🐄

[@patriotmama]

Goats will love a dirt mound too. We had one and our goats played "King of the Mountain" on there for years. Was hilarious to watch them. We cleaned a spring/stream out running through our pasture and hubby was going to spread the dirt on our garden but then we saw the goats playing on it and we just left it alone. Cheap entertainment for them and dogs. Your dogs love it b/c they can see the farm from there. That's what they do.

[@retabates3799]

Hi Brooke, I think the milk room is the perfect place for your barn and all the things you do in it. I don't drink when I eat. No after my surgery on my stomach the Doctor told me it is better not to drink when you eat. I am staying in out of the cold I am so thankful you folks take such great care of your animals. God bless y'all.

[@lookingforbluewater6162]

Yes! Build the goats and dogs their play hills 😁🥰. We will enjoy watching them ❤. Stay warm!!❤

[@beckiehales4864]

Good morning. Sorry you didn't get snow. Love how well your animals are taken care of. They are blessed. ❤❤ stay warm

[@lonicallis7932]

How did everyone in the Pigeon Palace make out? Even if they're just doing bird things I like seeing them.

[@lynettestephens5152]

My sweet mother never drank during her meals. She always had good old southern sweet tea to drink once she was finished eating. Oh, how I miss her. ♥️

[@SUZYRIDE]

Hey Brooke ❤ Just love your secret service detail ❤

[@lindadarnell2250]

I think yall coverings the windows and door on the chicken coop has made it warm enough that they are laying more too. I'm like you Brooke I don't usually drink anything till I finish eating probably not as good for you.

[@susanlewis9351]

I had an aunt that wouldn't put any drinks out until us kids finished eating. She said we would fill up on drinks and not eat

[@patriciasiefert7140]

Hot chocolate is wonderful when you come in from the cold!

[@lesliemorse5459]

Your boys sure do keep you in there site.❤😊

[@teeteepalooza]

their sight

[@victoriabaker4400]

Yes, in particular LIvestock Guardian Dogs like to have a raised perch to get a better view of things. Extra work when it freezes, for sure! Thanks so much for this lovely visit with the animals and yourself. All best wishes. ❣

[@marycoker99]

I am so glad that all the animals, you, and family made it through this freezing 🥶 weather. ❤

[@dianesaumure9729]

Yes Yes goat playground ❤❤❤❤

[@324cmac]

And dirt mound for dogs!

[@MadonnaSwimmer]

I'm thinking of when you cut the trees down in the woods,Jason could build something for the goats with the tree limbs.

[@Tomboy_Brooke]

The last time you let Matilda have access to one of the cows she was not interested. She wanted her humans more so!

[@marywilson1442]

Good morning Brooke 🙋, I'm thinking that you all must be in a pocket because I remembered that during the drought you all never got rain when it was forecasted but places all around you did get rain. Now the same thing with the snow forecast in your area but you got none but areas around you got plenty🤷❄️❄️🌴

[@laurelfinnerty9458]

That would make sense especially since their soil is extremely dry and hard deep in the ground so over time it was as affected by no moisture…I may be wrong but it sounds right to me😂

[@sharondoner439]

Good morning Brooke yes I think you ought to give the dogs a big pile of dirt to play on they would love it and also make a goat playground because they would love it y'all stay warm y'all are doing a great job keeping your animals warm and making sure their waters are good catch you on the next one y'all be good❤❤

[@joanminske2498]

Brooke your sled is wardimg off that snow lol

[@sierramade8]

If you detach hose from spiket put the opposite end over a fence or high place line will drain and not freeze. 😊

[@Accolyte-n5c]

Spigot

[@dldbrou1955]

I giggle to myself when you say you are going to de-thaw water. I know you mean you are going to thaw water, it just is cute the way you say it.

[@nikkicheshier1791]

Yes de-thaw and un-thaw are some of the funny things I hear on the internet always makes me giggle as well 🥶We know what they mean but still kinda funny hahaha 🙏🩷Thaw or thaw-out 😊

[@Lisa-x8s]

I’d leave that blanky on Pocket with this weather

[@wendylou8963]

I never tire of listening to you and Jason. I learn so many knew things every day. Now, when I regurgitate that knowledge is beyond me😂😂😂😂

[@lomagibson664]

Great video! So glad you all made it through the cold ❤❤ love you all so much! Continued prayers and God bless ❤❤

[@Lisa-x8s]

Love that you are so mindful of sanitary conditions for your animals. You won’t use your foot to break up the ice in the troughs and you don’t let the goats trample through poop. I’m sure it helps keep your pets healthy. You are the best.

[@januk7725]

is there anything more wholesome than Mootilda?? i think not

[@cathy-70]

Brooke you eat right, you wash your enzymes from your mouth if you drink while eating. Our mouth is the first stage of digestion. So you and the cows are right.

[@julieduree9210]

My Dr. said not to drink while eating, one delete all the nutrients,before digestion.

[@teeteepalooza]

if you’re calling brooke a cow i’ll fight ya 👊🏼😁

[@JackieLester-tj6zh]

Brooke…Jason needs to spray wd40 on the sliding doors to the barn or Pam’s cooking spray and that way they one sliding doors to won’t freeze anymore…just a helpful hint…stay warm from Northern Indiana and you can do the same on your garage doors with the rubber on the bottom of the doors also so it won’t freeze and tear the rubber 😊

It snowed 6-7inches here where I live in South Georgia. I am 59 and have never seen it do that. So sorry you didn't get any.

[@marshabevis3768]

I love the way you take care of your animals. The love and care you give them shows in the way they love you back. Peaches may think she's a horse now. LOL She has always been one of my favorites. I remember how she wandered little Cog Hill. She really is "Some Pig".

[@lianeletendre92]

"I didn't, so here we are." ... that made me laugh so hard! Thanks for the giggle, Brooke. But you know, you can still teach Rocky not to jump on you. It's not too late! I am exactly the same about wanting to do things for myself and not asking for help. But I am over 70 now and there are some things I just can't do anymore. I have found I have to ask for help a lot more often than I would like. You'll find the same happens as you get older. I would advise against taking the boat out on the ice unless it is a completely flat bottomed boat. It could still tip over and dump you out if it breaks through the ice.

[@darlahensley1573]

Hot water can lose heat faster through evaporation, which can cause it to reach the freezing point quicker than cold water under certain conditions.

Good morning from wyomi owe me we have bitter cold as well . Your chickens like how you covered the open windows

[@teeteepalooza]

Jason & Brooke buckle up…this is a long one 😄! I’m a human who takes Mobic aka Meloxicam. PLEASE reconsider your choice to titrate down on Matilda’s dosage. IT’S TOO SOON. *Please* reconsider keeping Matilda on it for 6 months to a year! If you decrease the dose now, Matilda’s inflammation will increase again, increasing her pain again, limiting her ability to use the leg again. Please don’t make the mistake so many of us have by thinking “I am (in this case she is) feeling/acting so much better so I guess the medicine isn’t needed anymore.” Matilda will experience the most improvement by being able to use her leg normally over a *significant* period of time as it heals. While Meloxicam is usually considered for short-term use, it should be used as long as needed to provide comfort until the area is completely healed. (Several years for me.) PLEASE reconsider keeping Matilda on it for 6 months to a year!

[@mrscoghillfarm]

Actually, they only gave me a 30 day supply at Auburn university vet , I am using some I had that was given for my goats (same dosage) to wean her down because they did not want her on it longer.
