It’s time to think about Stocking Up Before the Cold Fronts. In Texas, “winter weather” can mean anything from 80°F sunshine to frozen pipes overnight. Cold fronts often hit fast, so being prepared makes all the difference.

Start by keeping extra hay, feed, and bedding on hand. If roads ice over, feed delivery may be delayed. Check your barn for drafts, stock up on propane or heat bulbs, and make sure extension cords are outdoor-rated. Water tanks can freeze quickly, so keep backup water stored for emergencies.

Don’t forget your pets and poultry-heated bowls, dry bedding, and shelter from the wind can make all the difference. If you’ve got young or senior livestock, consider blanketing them during the coldest nights.
