[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 500231, member: 5106"] CUZ We don't have that set up per say but there is a row of shelters for the dry cows and a row of feed that acts as an additional wind break.The cows that are going to calve asap or have just calved are in a very sheltered area with a large calving barn. The cows with calves have a sheltered area and the calves have there own shelter.Everyone gets a really good straw pack with fresh bedding all the time. This is the first year with it set up this way and I dont know yet how well it is going to work. It only got to -31 last night here and with the wind chill -40 so the cows got a break thank goodness.Talked to friends this morning 2 miles away and they got down to -40 before the wind chill. The sun is shining and is -25 with no wind. The cows are happy and the babies are running around. It is supposed to be in the low minus teens this week I think the fluctuation in the temperature is the hardest on everyone especially the babies. Stay warm everyone. [/QUOTE]
