[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 337114, member: 968"] Give me cold & dry anyday compared to cold & wet & MUD! Much better for the cattle. We feed large bales, generally enough for 3 - 4 days. Under normal weather conditions, I let the mature cows run out for at least 1/2 day for them to clean up good. But, when the weather is severe, I try not to let them run out at all. They definately eat MORE!! A good way to tell if your cattle are in good condition, is when it snows, they stay snow covered on their backs. This means they have enough insulation and they are keeping their body heat IN - not losing it thru their hide. If the snow is melting on them, they may be too thin. [/QUOTE]
