[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1661666, member: 38101"] -30 this morning here again. Cows don't need a barn. Shelter from the wind is a big thing. Around here you can buy 30' freestanding windbreak panels that you can move around with a tractor and probably sell for what you buy them for when you retire. They would definitely appreciate bedding, mine certainly utilize any bedding that's available if it's out of the wind. I just wouldn't fall calve here (it's colder than where you are) - hard on cow's bags, small calves would struggle more with the cold and feeding only hay it'd be harder to supply the needs of a lactating cow in the cold.
