On the subject of freezing temperatures, a bit of preparation to ensure water supplies to stock are reliable in the event of hard frost could prevent big problems. Think about contingency arrangements that you can draw on if necessary, such as water bowsers.
In the event of inclement weather, how are you going to ensure access and exit points are kept open? Establish early on how snow can be cleared, either with your own equipment or nearby machinery - and have sufficient stocks of salt/grit on hand.
