We try to never put a cow near a barn out here unless we are calving during a late spring blizzard and other people want to put them under a roof and never let them out. I know who is working harder and I'm pretty sure who shows more profit. Personally I don't think a ruminant belongs in a building until they get the finishing phase, then I don't see a problem with it if it helps to help keep them out of the mud, cold or heat.
