Off The Grid News Better Ideas For Off The Grid Living 
Taking care of livestock and poultry during warm weather is hard enough, but when frigid weather hits, it can be downright difficult.
Yet if you know what you’re doing, your livestock can survive and even thrive during winter weather.
This week’s guests on Off The Grid Radio — Shawn and Beth Dougherty — take care of cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks throughout the year on a large farm in Ohio. They tell us the tricks they use to care for their animals when cold weather hits.
Shawn and Beth – the authors of the book, “The Independent Farmstead” (Storey) – also tell us:
- What they feed their animals during winter.
- How they keep the livestock’s water from freezing.
- What they do to protect their animals when temperatures approach 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
Shawn and Beth also tell about the vegetables they grow in the garden during winter – and how they do it.
If you own livestock or poultry, then this week’s show is for you!
