John- A few years ago, Montana State University did some studies on cattle and cold weather. From what I remember, they were pretty impressed with the Galloways and their ability to stand the cold. Because of their hair they used less energy to stay warm. But I've had good luck with angus, herefords, and black baldies up here in Montana. And we seldom get by a winter when we don't have 40 below (already been 30 below) weather and 60-70 below chill factors. If they have a little windbreak and enough to eat, they get by fine. [/QUOTE]
