[QUOTE="M-J-G, post: 7848402, member: 1819"] Of course they can, cattle are only housed to suit the land and the owner, it's just some breeds need more help to live outside than others for performance not to suffer. When we had Lim, BB and AA X dairy the cows didn't handle the winter well at all and needed better treatment, when we moved to breeds with a thicker hide they lived the same feed as when they were housed, and were more content in rough weather. Outwintering stock is one thing, but when we're 10 days away from December turning out calves that haven't been out in their lives before probably isn't ideal, particularly if they are of breeding that feels the cold more than others.
