Iowa State University extension veterinarian John Herrick warns cattle, sheep, horses and other animals tolerate cold if well cared for. Open sheds or windbreaks protect adults. warm barns followed by cold exposure raise pneumonia risk. Unhealthy animals with lice or worms suffer more in cold, requiring 10 to 15 percent more feed. older animals with teeth problems need special care. Pregnancy increases feed by up to 30 percent in late gestation.
