[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1220622, member: 637"] Anne, it's wintertime, and cows look awful when we take pictures of them. You have your cows up in the barn out of the weather, and I don't see any that appear to be suffering from anything. Looking at the snow on the ground and not on their backs must be a relief for them. They may be laying on a manure pile, but that is much warmer than snow. I don't feel that you let your bedding get soggy, and manure always sticks to their sides. Mine are out in the open, no shelter, and they still will find a manure pile to lay on when there are many spots that are clean, high and dry. Mine get the rain and snow and sleet on their backs but we are warmer. I am sure the cows appreciate the warmth, and it keeps you from feeding twice the grain to keep them warm in your area. I know that you feed your beef cows alfalfa, which is only a dream to me as I wish it would grow well here. As long as you know your cows are not cold and are getting fed well, as they appear to be in great health, just let the comments roll off your back. Play like a duck....... :nod: [/QUOTE]
