Just a few pics of my setup. With a new round pen attached.

neat looking spread .... what is your projected use for the round pen .... do you use a tractor to move the big round bales into the barn

Couple more of the home place...

No tractor. Just peel off layers and feed morning and night.
Pen is for light workout. Just rode in it.

Barn is just storage. Horses are never in it.

What a lovely home layout you have! Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Where is Badgers snow shed at?

where do you shelter them during your area's strong storms and very low temps ..?

They have shelters to go in. But they are outside 24/7 year round. Good hay and lots of it. They don't call them hayburners for nothing.

See that steel shelter near the barn? They have a couple of those on the property. But they don't use them very often.

Weather here is not nearly as extreme as your's but the only time Ruby used her shed was during heavy rainfall, didn't bother her to have several inches of snow on her back.

Goat are a different story, a slight drizzle and they head for their shelter. Also they hate to get their feet muddy, when they were sharing the paddock with Ruby or the neighbor's cows they would walk around the edges close to the fence to avoid the deeper mud.

Id be burnin alot of hay to if I had to stay warm at 0 and 4 feet of snow on the ground.
