[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 203058, member: 3162"] My nurse cow (Holstein) will pant if she gets anything above 12 percent in the summer. Even the 12 percent had her going pretty hard in triple digit temperature. We had about 3 continual weeks in September when the temp was either over 100 or right at it. She would stand there panting and I would take coffee cans of water out of the trough the pour them on her to try to cool her down when I let her in with the calves. She would never flinch as I rubbed the water in. I had to limit her feed intake. It had me very concerned. I have no expertise on this subject, but rather first hand experience with my own cow/cows. Maybe someone who knows will jump in here. With the hair you have on those Highlanders, I'd sure be considering protein intake if it were me. I don't know what protein content oats have. I could google it but you could do that too. It may depend on the variety too. [/QUOTE]
