For those of you who live where it can easily get below 0 at night.
When it gets cold outside at night do you tend to feed more grain or less grain? The reason I ask is because some friends of ours feed more at night than they do in the morning to 'keep the calves warmer.' I guess I have never thought of this and it does kinda make sense. But processing the grain could use more energy that could be used to keep the calves warm...
Mine get the same amount cold or warm, but I thought that it was an interesting concept.
I don't really know...i just thought that I would get some different opinions. ;-)
