[QUOTE="Logar, post: 1605767, member: 31166"] Shelter can be many things. Trees or buildings. We tend to use three sided shelters facing to the south in fields with no trees and thick bush in other areas on the farm. Of course this depends upon the location the animals are at when we have them out on grass. In the end, shelter from wind, rain and snow is important. Do you want to lay down on wet and muddy ground after a couple days of rain? As we are all mammals, trust me - if it would affect you, it will affect them. Especially when you get in to the heavy minus temperatures we have in Canada. When it comes to "down south" that might be a different story. In the end if the conditions make you uncomfortable it will do the same to cows and calves. Cheers [/QUOTE]
