I braced myself for their death, knowing they wouldn't live in this cold, but so far they have done well and are growing rapidly:
Blue and Remy were released from wearing their grazing muzzles and I began putting out hay bales. Alas, I have fewer bales than last year and had to begin feeding them out three weeks earlier:
