Went out to check cows this afternoon.
Like everyone else, it has been an extremely cold week for us, but today was the worse. It started raining last night, and has been a steady light rain and drizzle all day, cold wind with it.
Albeit, it is not near the extremes most of you experience, but like us, our cows are not aclimated to this cold crap either.
They have plenty of stockpiled pasture, and have shelter from the wind. I took out clean dry hay for them, is there anything else I should do to give them a boost or just let them be?
Temps are to be near freezing for the next two nights.
Thanks.....
