[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 753382, member: 6543"] well I am an angus breeder and have been for 35 years so excuse me while I say angus is the breed to use. Contrary to what many will say, my angus cattle are known for their quiet dispositons. Bulls and cows. I lived in northeast ohio for three years and left cause of a particular day where the actual temperature was 26 below with a 40 mile an hour wind and I did not think I was going to survive that day. too darned cold for a redneck southern boy. Livestock survived it but they suffered as well and the ones that could access shelter were sure in it as far as they could go. so I will differ with those that say no shelter is necessary. what animals can survive, and what is the right thing for us as stewards to do...... are not necessarily the same thing. a dense natural shelter such as a couple of acres of good size white pines is better than a building but most of us don't have that and so I think a shelter and windbreak is good. anybody too triffling to clean it out a couple times a year does not have time to have livestock. good luck on your new endeavor.
