[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 729653, member: 968"] Yup - just like snow on the top of a house - means they have good insulation! Up North here, if you have cattle THIN going into winter, "you have a long road to hoe" - requires more feed. You're always trying to play catch up - but they never do. Weather is usually too harsh for pregnant cows to gain weight on hay. Guess you could grain them :shock: Lots easier to wean calves early enough for them to put their weight back on with fall grazine - and we have great fall grazing. [/QUOTE]
