[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 334993, member: 97"] When its extremely cold 10-40 Below or real bad wind chills I try to feed in windbreak areas--In our area if they have feed and can get out of the wind they do fine... And I'll roll out an extra bale or bales of hay for the day...Let them eat as much as they want which sometimes will be 40+ lbs of hay...Lot of time the extra hay will be lower quality or 2-3 year old grass hay- they can eat what they want and bed on whats not edible....When the weather is warmer- and they can graze some I feed 20-25 lbs per cow... We've been lucky this year and had very few cold spells- but this one is supposed to be with us another week- altho today isn't too bad...It was 0 at 6AM and is now up to 8 with little wind...
