Not to worry, they will figure it out all on their own and be just fine.

Tie them in a barn during the day and blow them out.  I don't notice a big difference.

they'll be fine. just make sure they have clean warm bedding or some sort of shelter to go top if it gets real bad you don't want them to get too cold

I don't worry about the cold so much as long as they have a dry place to lay down and a way to get out of the wind if they want.

They are cattle! They live outside in the elements, snow, wind, rain, hail they are used to it, they have hair for a reason, it protects them. You shouldn't worry so much about them. A man running 1500 head in Colorado, like the Toole feedlot, doesnt have time for every calf to have a warm, dry place to stay out of the snow.
