OSU Extension This month has produced a variety of cold weather, including rain, wet snow, dry snow, fog and very cold tem- peratures. This reminds me of how vulnerable livestock can be in cold, wet weather. As old folks used to say about cattle and winter, “February will shake ’em and March will take ’em.” Our December weather was at times like March weather. So here is some key information about feeding livestock in the winter. Livestock in general is very well equipped to handle cold weather. Mother Nature gives these animals a thick hair coat that keeps them well protected down to 18 degrees. When it dips below this critical temperature, animals will need to burn extra energy to stay warm. However, if animals get soaked by a wet, heavy snow, and their coat is wet to the skin, then the critical tempera- ture may be reached at 59 de- grees. If the coat stays wet and night time temperatures plum- met into the teens, this com- bination can be deadly. Ranchers can help their livestock combat these cold temperatures by increasing the amount of forage fed and by increasing the quality of the forage. Digesting forages takes energy and a by-product of this process is heat. This heat generated from breaking down fibrous feedstuffs can really help animals on cold, winter nights. Another strategy for deal- ing with the cold weather is to feed cattle in the late af- ternoon. The heat from digestion peaks a few hours after a meal, so offering meals in the evening can help cattle cope with the cold nighttime tem- peratures. Using cattle as an example, a general rule to follow is when temperatures drop be- low the critical temperature for livestock of 18 degrees, cattle owners need to increase the amount of feed provided by about 1 percent for every degree below 18 degrees in dry cold. If there is wind or rain then you need to increase even more. Also, as many ranchers al- ready know, the thinner the cow gets, the more feed re- quired to keep her warm. Keeping cows in good body condition not only keeps them warm in the winter, but sets them up to have a healthy calf in the spring.
