There was a study done in Missouri agr center yrs ago where they brought all kinds of animals into freezers including circus animals to see how low temprituers effected them - the conclusion was that as long as they had the feed there body's would generate the heat they needed - I know there is the exception - when dogs or animals shiver it's simply there body generating more heat to raise there body tempetuer - when a dog is on a leash they can't move around so they will shiver to warm them selves up - there are exceptions as in South West WY when it gets to -60 with -90 wind chill but that's the exception- I'm familiar with all that

When I met my husband I never had been on a farm before, he brought me out to the farm I to the milk barn to do the evening milking.. when he was bringing me back home he asked me what I thought about it cause he said I was a “natural” and the girls really like me as the ones I did help to milk didn’t kick me lol well I said I really enjoyed it and would do it again if he wanted my help.. so a few days later he took me to the local feed store where they sell coveralls and boots and clothed me up in proper attire for my next visit and said I was a dandy looking heifer all ready 😆 that believe it or not is a compliment 😂.. that was 21 years ago now and I am loving a life I wouldn’t change for ANYTHING! Btw I still own my first pair of coveralls too😉 they seem to get better with age don’t they?! All the best from a fellow lady farmer in a small rural area in the Ottawa valley Canada 🇨🇦♥️ God bless!

My daughter flew home to Louisiana from Colorado, when she left it was -17. When she got home it dropped down to 19. I’m 1.5 hours north of New Orleans on a dairy farm. We are not equipped for weather like this, but we have made it. Cows are all good like Jill mentioned, if they eat and they are good. Our cows in the pastures get grain fed every morning, those we are not milking. The ones we milk are eating hay and grain and producing a lot of milk. It’s work, but it’s makes me feel amazing. Stay warm y’all!!!

Brings back lots of memories many many years ago on a 1st calf heifer dairy operation in Northern Nebraska...-75 without the windchill. Milk cows would freeze to death if they wondered away to poop or pee; if they’d been standing with their heads all together. The moisture from their breathe would freeze up their lungs. It was so brutal...Beef cattle are much much more resilient.

I had to bring the hose into the house to thaw out and then had to hook it up where the washer hooks up and run it out the window to get water to my critters. and then two of my three stock tank heaters went out. what a mess. Thank God there was no wind or it would have been really bad. Glad you all are safe and the critters are all ok. We are in Colorado just SE of the Denver area.
