[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 978815, member: 7509"] I was giving the cows a grain treat ahead of some very cold (below zero F) weather when a few of the spring calves came down the hill to see what I was doing, or maybe beg some for themselves. These calves have been grazing corn for about two weeks now. After reading this article: [url]http://farmprogress.com/story-cold-weather-increases-livestock-energy-needs-10-71951[/url], I was looking at how thick their winter coats have become. I think they look pretty comfortable and healthy outwintering in grazing corn and using the woods for shelter. They seem to be gaining well though I have not weighed them recently with my scale under a foot of snow. Here are a couple pictures of the group that came down the hill to see what I was doing.
