Gary,
cattle have a good haircoat and layer of fat that insulates them from losing body heat, thus keeping the snow on their backs. I bet as soon as it warms up or the sun penetrates their dark coats that it will then melt off.
My horses are that way also. Thick haircoat insulates them from the cold.
I always notice when I am driving around, who has good insulation in their attic and who doesn't. The well insulated attics have snow on their roofs. The ones that aren't insulated as well are melting off right away.
