The winter list that remembers the barn
Most winter checklists stop at the house. This one covers the animals, the water lines and the barn alongside the house and the vehicles, one month at a time from November to February, with a log for the cold weeks and cards to tape by the door.
What's inside, 12 pages
Month by month
November, December, January and February, each in five parts: animals, water lines, barn and outbuildings, house and vehicles, every job with a tick box and room for your own.
Winter contacts
One page for the vet, the extension office, the farrier, feed, fuel, the plow and the neighbor who can do chores.
Water and shelter log
One row per check on cold days: the low, whether water was open, whether bedding was dry, and anything you saw.
Hay and bedding count
A monthly count of what is in the barn, plus a winter vehicle kit checklist.
Cold-snap and power-out cards
Two short lists to keep by the door for the night the temperature drops or the power goes.
What froze
The most useful page in the book next November: what went wrong, when, why, and what you will do before next winter.

General chores, not animal health advice
Facts come from university extension, the CDC, NHTSA, the American Red Cross, the Chimney Safety Institute and Ready.gov, each named on the page. These are general chores and maintenance reminders. Anything about an animal's health or feed goes to your vet or your county extension office.
Questions
Is it fillable?
Yes. Every box and line takes typing on a computer or tablet, and every tick box can be ticked. It prints cleanly too.
Which animals does it cover?
The jobs are written for a small mixed homestead, with lines for horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens and rabbits, and general reminders about water, shelter and bedding that fit most animals.
How was it made?
We planned these pages, chose what goes on them, checked every figure against its source and looked over every page before listing. We used AI tools to help lay out the pages and draft the wording. Every fact is checked against a source listed in the PDF.
What if something is wrong with it?
Write to [email protected] within 7 days and we will fix it, send a working copy or refund you. Downloads can't be returned, so we don't refund a change of mind. The refund policy has the details.
