This past week, the news showcased tales of folks struggling through the aftereffects of two severe winter storms. While many northerly states in the U.S. experience such weather every year, these storms hit areas that rarely see such freezing temps. As a result, many people were unprepared and left without power or running water. The resulting primitive living would be a burden for just about anyone, but for those with horses and stock to manage, the situation was even more dire.
Most of us likely knew someone impacted by these storms, and certainly my social media feeds were filled with stories and images of folks doing the best they could in some very trying circumstances. As always, when you put humans in a seemingly impossible situation where the stakes are high, ingenuity reigns.
