    Could you show us a close up of the thick coats that the cows grow. I do not think many farmers in the UK keep their cows outside during the winter.
    Many farmers here have snow ploughs they clear the narrow roads as well. Yet we rarely have much snow. But I always think it is amusing to see the parking in the town square full of tractors when it does snow, the ladies pop to the hairdresser in the tractor.
    It is luckily for you that Canada has good gas and oil reserves. Prices here in the UK have more than doubled.

    I live in Northeastern Ontario. I know very little about farming and I have never been to Sask. I have been watching Mike Mitchell Faithhope farm vids for the past 3yrs and have learned a lot about grain farming. I had an uncle who owned a large dairy farm in Southeastern Ontario, but I only visited the farm once. I decided to sub to your channel and hope to learn a lot about the dairy industry in Sask. Seems I have a lot of vids to catch up on. I look forward to watching your vids and learn about your region of our great country.

    I'm sure there are some people that don't realize that as packs in the corrals start to break down, a great amount of heat is generated as it builds. Its like laying on a heated mattress cover or heating pad. With that along with full winter coats, it's likely they rarely get truly cold.

      At temperatures below 18 degrees, the animal is stressed and begins to require additional feed in order to maintain body temperature. As long as this additional energy supply is met by additional feed intake, the animal will survive just fine."
