:lol: here in Indiana, we can go from 40 degrees to 10 degrees
in one day! The wind chill can be in the minus 10 to 20 range.
Our cattle do well with the natural wind breaks in the hills and
hollars of the woods. Plenty of hay and a tank of heated water
are all thats needed. supplemental corn gluten we use in
small amounts ( got to keep those expectant mommas from
getting too fat ) The occasional new calf ( we try for spring calving but once in a while we get a "surprise!) is brought
into the barn for a day or two and then turned into the lot
with access to the barn . We check the herd every day --
no matter what, and have never had a bovine freeze to death.
Its a plus not to have all those dang flys!!!!! :nod:
