Before we had cows, we had goats. They didn't drink as much. So, carrying water from a longer distance to them wasn't as big a deal as carrying 8 five-gallon buckets of water every day.<br /><br />I'm glad you had the opportunity to have lumber milled from your own trees for your house. That's great! It not only saves money, but there's something about having your building materials come from your farm.dphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16205051256917210078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397216591519088946.post-10191068081920735062010-01-06T20:41:20.208-06:002010-01-06T20:41:20.208-06:00It's a good thing you have that pond there for...It's a good thing you have that pond there for your cows. We have a spring that runs in the winter. Good thing too, I hate breaking ice in our pond. <br /><br />We had our lumber for our house cut from trees that were on the property. It saves lots of money.<br /><br />Try to stay warm,<br />sfgsmall farm girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01485314092236803411noreply@blogger.com
