Keep barn fans on during cold days
Do not turn off ventilating fans in cold weather. Stock heat adds to stale air and moisture buildup. Run at least one fan continuously to remove stale air. A 1400 pound cow produces about 4% gallons of moisture daily. Ventilation guidance: 100 cfm per 1000 lb animal, 200 cfm if cattle housed year round. Avoid drawing air from warm to cold zones. Roger Flashinski, Rusk County agent.
