[QUOTE="angie1, post: 468574, member: 3886"] Ahhhh, I showed this to my cows, 32 degrees, it made them giggle ;-) No seriously, our cattle have a pole shed , opens to the south, they rarely use it, even in the very worst of weather. Often times I will see them, when the wind is blowing, lay on the protected side of the round bale feeder. Heifer calves have complete shelter inside the barn. Again, they RARELY go in there, no matter how cold. Never is the barn heated, only did that when I had sick bottle calves from sale barn. Almost tempted to sleep in the barn because I worry about a fire. Mn state law requires shelter food and water. Sometimes shelter is only a wind break, round bales stacked 2 high. Our cattle are more affected by the heat in the summer than the cold in the winter. Only that seasons calves are grained at our house through the winter. I appreciate your concern, is good to be a caring owner. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
