Saw Something neat on YouTube today. They were talking about the winter of 1886/87. Temperatures were -60 degrees + windchill. Ranchers those free ranged cattle lost 80% of their herds that winter. One guy who was an engineer had studied the weather and saw that a severe winter was predicted had built an underground shelter capable of holding 300 head. They said after that winter ranchers built more shelters for cattle to prevent winter loss. I wonder if there are any of those underground shelters in existence today?
