[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 609155, member: 1683"] Give this some thought. If you haven't laid down bedding in three weeks in sub zero weather ( :!: ) in an outdoor lot with multiple cows milling around and lying down in wet urine and manure - the teats freeze, AND freeze TO the mud and manure, and therefore you can expect epidermal tissue (skin) to freeze - absolutely. Bedding (grain straw or corn stalk straw) provides not only a drying factor to the urine and mud and manure, but an insulating factor to help prevent the teats from freezing. As you know, cattle can tolerate a lot of cold IF they can keep dry and out of the wind! DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
