Exposure to cold rains in November is often more injurious to dairy cows than the colder but dryer weather of the later winter. C. H. Eckles of the dairy department of the College of Agriculture of the University of Missouri says. The cow, unlike a fat steer has no layer of fat for protection. Bad weather and exposure causes a drop in the milk production.
Every cold rain should find the cow protected. It is not necessary that any large amount be spent for their housing but barns should have tight walls and a good roof. Care should also be taken to make them sanitary.
