Winter on the Farm!
If you are worried about cows getting too cold in the snow- never fear!!
Did you know cows love cold weather?
Snow on the back of a cow is a good sign that the cow is healthy and keeping warm. The cow’s thick coat is a natural insulator and the fact the they are a ruminant animal (meaning they regurgitate and chew their food multiple times) helps keep them warm. God is so cool in how he designs each animal to survive in its environment!!
Of course, they appreciate a little help when they temps drop. We spent a lot of time over the last week putting out hay to provide food and something warm and dry for our cows during the snow. ❄️
