Frostbit Udders?
« on: January 12, 2017, 09:59:45 am »
Please forgive me if this is a totally novice, silly question... Can ewes get frostbit udders? I have a group of ewes that I weaned a couple weeks ago. Udders are no longer full but still not completely gone. If I kick them out of the barn into the snow, can their udders freeze?

Teats perhaps. Unless lying on frozen ground,or in severe winds,I doubt it. Lest just say ,I have never had one,and its been as low as -30 real temp here . Bedded area ,and wind protection, should be fine
