[QUOTE="jedstivers, post: 1226752, member: 8873"] It doesn't get cold enough in KY to bother them once it's below freezing. It does get cold enough when it's 33 and raining. Is your barn enclosed or three sides? If they need it they will go in usually. Mine only have windbreaks but running these old last chance cows we need 2 or 3 sided shelters scattered around for them when we have these days and days of 30°rain endlessly. Years ago on my grandaddys herd they would be out all the time but had a three sided shed they could get in and also were feed a free choice feed with salt as a limiter. They came and went to eat but when the right temp of rain hit every single cow was in there. When you notice those poor cold cows with ice handing or snow piled up do you not wonder why it's not melted? It's because they are insulated by their hide and hair. [/QUOTE]
