[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1208119, member: 14713"] I've heard it said that 35F degrees is like room temperature to a cow. A cow with a good winter hair coat, on a dry sunny day, with no wind it's "shirt sleeve weather" to a cow. Much like a human is typiclally comfortable at 70 degrees. Wind starts to blow, rain/snow, subzero temps, these will make both a cow and a man hunker down and eat more grub to keep warm :P Especially with good winter grazing available, on a nice day a cow will eat some hay, then get bored with it and head out to graze. On a stormy day, the cow will hunker down where you feed her and eat, and eat, and eat some more. I would not be suprised if the cow eats 2X the hay on a cold winter day as on a mild day :2cents: [/QUOTE]
