Cow coats

I have been making calf coats and kid coats. I had an idea that struck me. Tell me if I'm nuts here. ( Hancock fabric has the water shedding breathable fabric on sale) Is a cow coat an insane idea? Figure it may help cow produce more. Or atleast take off some cold stress off of her

Just an idea is it stupid?

Not to be blunt or snarky, but,, yep.

Now,now, I think that if you don't have a shelter, a cow coat might be a good thing to have. I know cows benefit from blankets when they are stricken with ketosis and other conditions. I say, why not?

It's raining here tonight. I have all of the heifers in the barn. The temps are going to drop like a rock. A cow coat might be a nice item to have on hand.

There's been times I would have liked to have one for sick cows, but for everyday use I would say no.

People put them on horses so I don't know.

They have calf blankets for winter to keep them warm

So a cow coat for sick cows in the cold wouldn't be a bad thing to have around

I only have 1 home cow. So no one to snuggle to keep warm with.
