why do beef cattle not need blankets in the winter?
We put blankets on horses in the winter, why not beef and dairy cattle? Don’t they get cold too?
Actual scientific research – if you give cattle a choice of many different temperature areas they will end up staying in the one that about 55 degrees F. Winter temps do not feel as cold to them as to the temperate 70 degree loving humans. Plus if they are housed in an open area by winter they will grow lots o hair (like 3 inches – honest).
Now horses would grow similar hair and be just as warm outside but we humans think the shaggy coats look unkempt and its harder to cool the shaggy horse down after a ride so we clip them or keep them always blanketed to keep them from getting shaggy…
