We continue trundling through some extra cold weather. But -10 still feels warmer than -30.

Trying hard to put my creative pants on while also feeling unmoored in a surreal landscape. Finding the right or proactive actions seems impossible. Thank goodness for physical labor, as that's the only thing that has made me feel like I'm accomplishing anything.

Hay! It's still very cold at The Liminal Farmstead at -26. The San Clemente Island goat herd is making it through. With great shelters, plentiful bedding, and lots of hay. Although, a warm-up would be welcome.

Even colder this morning. -31. I heard a tree explosion this morning doing chores. Trees will crack from cold like this, and there are hundreds of acres of woods around us. But this was a very loud boom/crack. Maybe we'll find the tree later and harvest it for firewood.

I spent a good chunk of time yesterday providing extra hay to the goats and prepping for these cold temps. We will have a few overnight lows with similar frigid weather. Bob and my certainly burned through a lot of wood to keep the house warm!

This is the first pair of women's sized work gloves that don't have some gender coded color or pattern I have seen. Granted, they are still $2 more than men's sized gloves. 🤷♀️ My small hands come in handy if livestock birthing complications occur, protection is important.

Goat butts! We are in for another cold spell in Western Wisconsin. A few days of -20 which will likely mean -30 in the valley.

I was contemplating a few improvements to make during the warm months of 2026. And one was to get a water pump closer to the goats. Sledding water in -20 degree for the past 12 winters is getting old for me but still fun for some. 🤪

Kasimer and Vonnegut are "self-black" San Clemente Island goats. Jasper displays the black and white color variation. These variations can be found in a small handful of United States and Canadian herds. Self-black is my favorite! #sanclementeislandgoats #endangeredlivestock #theliminalfarmstead

Isbue is peeking out of his house. I keep smaller shelters inside the big goat shelter to offer a safe space. Goats hold a hierarchy that can entail lower ranking goats being chased away. Creating these spaces helps to keep the goats safe.

This isn't pitch, but thin sheets of ice covering the pines. The white glare is reflection from the snow. Our small acreage of planted pines are covered like this. Absolutely gorgeous.

The EB Ranch Farmstead is changing to the new name of The Liminal Farmstead. I think farms are inherently liminal spaces, and I have been intrigued by this concept before I ever learned the word "liminal". I sometimes feel like the SCI goats are mascots for the liminal. #sanclementeislandgoats

The timeline of being tackled by Kasimer and Garland. Both uncommon color variants of the SCI goat breed. Both intent on equally getting attention and nibbling at vulnerable body parts. Kasimer came out the winner for exclusive chin scratches. #sanclementeislandgoats #scigoats

Caught this migratory cutie stopping by the Farmstead.
White Crowned Sparrow in western Wisconsin. I would say double the size of the regular Tree Sparrow.
