[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 619670, member: 839"] We don't get the really extended frigid temps of the northern regions, BUT we do occasionally get those below freezing temps. I/we don't do anything differently other than put out more hay if its especially cold, obviously they consume a bit more at those times. They have access to an area/grove of cedar and pine trees which seem to provide them with enough shelter. They have acces to a 3-sided run-in shed depending on the pasture they are in. At calving time, they seem to like to calve in the grove of trees. At that time I make the pasture with the run-in available. I have only had 2 calves lose little 'snippets' of their ears due to frostbite. They were born during an ice-storm :roll: . Katherine [/QUOTE]
