bringing show calves in the barn

Was just wondering if it does more harm than good to bring cattle inside the barn in the this weather. Our show calves have been outside through the last 2 snowstorms and are in a pretty protected area, but laying down is either muddy and cold or frozen and cold. We thought about bringing them in the barn for the day then turning them back out at night. However, I am wondering if they come in the barn, get warmed up and thawed out and then we kick them out into the -10 degree windchill weather that it will be bad for them?? My mom told me a story once when she was a kid she brought her kitty in the house during some real cold weather and when they put him back outside he froze to death, would have been fine if left outside and not brought in.

How warm is your barn?  The main thing is to keep them out of the wind.  Personally I would bring them in at night and kick them out during the day while the weather is this bad.

We have some fall calves that have a shelter in their pasture.  Even in this cold weather, the cows & calves are outside most of the day - by their choice.    They spend the night in the shed. 

Barn is not heated, just a way to get out of the wind and on some dry bedding to lay down. Thanks for the response!

As long as the barn is well ventilated, A good place to lay out of the wind would be nice. If you think that it may get steamy in the barn, I would rather leave them outside preferably out of the wind.

If your barn is all inclosed i would recommand keeping the show calves inside because they could get phemouna

Barn would be fine.  The wind makes the cold twice as bad.

Watched RFD Lastnight, the subject of weather and show calves was discussed, with Dr. Steven Myers - Bob May - Dave Allen. Bob May made the comment that as long as they had a wind break they were better off outside, the seem to develop respiratory problems when kept inside.
I think this subject was discussed on this site before if I remember right, fresh air is better than barn air.
