[QUOTE="knowknews, post: 692170, member: 13046"] I asked mother if she remembered if my dad kept the cows in in the winter. She said she was pretty sure he kept them in but then so did (she thinks) her grandpa. She suggested perhaps it was an "old-timer" practice. I don't know if there is a difference between dairy and beef cattle. At any rate, I am going to take your advice and leave it up to the cow, however, I wonder if this is just a good enough wind break. [img][IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y220/knoweknews/Barn%20Yard%20In%20Progress/cow029.jpg[/img][img]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y220/knoweknews/Barn%20Yard%20In%20Progress/cow029.jpg[/img][/img] There are trees you can't see behind the barn and the camera is facing North so this is the south side of the barn. Hubby is going to extend the roof on the chicken coop to go all the way to the back of the barn. It will be like a shelter. Will this be enough? Should I also leave that barn door open for her to come and go? I do have the two goats in the barn as well and don't know how they will take the winter with the barn door open. [/QUOTE]
