Nope. My neighbors dairy, freestall buildings,
no heat. He froze 2 of them, that was while
they were in the unsheltered holding pen
between the freestall barn & the milk parlor.
he put up a tin shell for them to wait in, and no
more problems. You keep them dry, & you keep drafts & wind
away, and they do fine. The only thing heated
is the milking parlor, and that's for the guy in
the pit, and so you can hose it down without
freezing! :) My beef cows are allowed to go in a barn pen
through a plastic flap door. They spend a
couple of hours inside on cold days, but much
prefer being outside most of the time, even
when it was 19 below 2 days ago. However, a
south wind (hits the cow yard direct) and they
all crowd in the pen all day long even if it is 25
for a temp... Keep them dry, keep them out of the wind.
Also, let them build up to it. If you kept some
inside all the time & warm, they couldn't
handle being turned out into the cold. They
need to build up to it. --->Paul

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
