Hello,
I remember reading about how someone in this forum protected Nubian ears during icy weather by doing something with their watering buckets that kept the ears out of the water.

I asked about how this was done a few days ago; but now cannot find that thread. Is there some way to find all the posts I did? (On some sites I can find my posts under "profile". If this can be done here, I am not finding it.)

Does anyone remember a thread/post about protecting Nubian ears during winter weather? If so, can you direct me to it please?

Thank you

i'm not sure where this was discussed but if i remember right, you could put styrofoam as a floating device on the bucket. this might keep the ears dry.
