We use the mirafounts and have never had a problem but we are in south central illinois so we don't have extremely cold temps it did get down to around zero or slightly below on actual temp before and we never had a problem with them icing over or freezing.  You do have to make sure you clean...

I saw him at the sale to and thought pretty much the same thing. He's thick enough but not overly thick, fairly straight, plenty of bone, long and clean fronted, not gonna use him but if you do use him on super sound cows with plenty of set to there legs and big soggy middled and no i would not...
