Ventilating the Cow Barn
Guidance on barn ventilation explains matching intake and exhaust cross sections with adjustable valves. Three intake flues per side, four by fourteen inches, are sufficient for airflow. Avoid reseating irritating shaft arrangements when possible to maintain balanced ventilation in cold weather.
Ventilating Flues in Stables and Cold Weather
In very cold weather drafts from ventilating flues can reverse currents and chill the stable. Close one flue to force fresh air to enter at the ceiling, mix with warm air, and then descend to the floor.
Taking Care of Foals in Spring Time
The spring foal has advantages as a natural breeding season means stronger foals. They can spend more time outdoors and be less troublesome than fall colts. Do not let colts run with mares when at work. in fall keep them in stalls. Spring colts should stay in the yard or paddock, preferably on grass, and only be with mares when feeding. This reduces injury risk and lets the mare work harder.
