[QUOTE="Otha, post: 1727613, member: 41397"] Is there a formula or guide for feeding more based on cold weather? I have been using the Cowculator program to get my ration where I want it for cost and weight management. I am wondering how much if any extra needs to be fed during these cold spells below freezing? In the past I would always be sure to keep hay out and cube a little heavier but was hoping for a more measured approach. I have definitely noticed the cattle clean up the unrolled hay better when it's cold leading me to believe they may need more than they are getting on these colder days. And yes I know for some of you 20 F isn't that cold but for my Texas cows and I it is colder than a normal winter morning. [/QUOTE]
