[QUOTE="Cheyenne, post: 334543, member: 1519"] I don't want to hijack the thread but on the subject of cold and extra hay and feed, how much IS extra? I know depends on the conditions and cattle, but have been wondering how everyone determines what to put out. We won't even see zero today and windchills are in the -20's to -30's. Mine are penned with 3 sided, covered protection with straw for bedding. Been putting out double the hay and upped their feed and they seem to be doing ok. Recently changed the ration to up the energy level so they don't seem to be losing any condition. I'm sure they will come through this cold period ok. Do you just adjust feeding to how they look and act during these cold spells? [/QUOTE]
