Graining Up For A Bitter Cold Night

Donkeys and sheep are both desert and mountain animals, the cold does not get to them, but extreme wind and cold does sometimes, we have shelter for them from the wind, but not the cold. It’s supposed to be a wind chill of -20 to -25 tonight, that is hard on man and beast. One thing we can do is give them good grain to provide energy and warmth, and lots of heated water and fresh hay. High winds tonight, so we will check on them through the night and into the morning.

Red is the one animal who does not seem to notice the weather, heat or cold. He is the same one way or the other.
