[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 22614, member: 97"] Several years ago Mt State University did a study on wintering cattle in cold weather and the Galloway came out on top. Due to their hair and fat layer they used something like 30% less feed to winter. One drawback I have heard is that their hair gets pretty matted up with mud in the southern feedlots. Something we don't worry about up here because its usually 30 below or 100 above and drought. [/QUOTE]
