[QUOTE="CWT Angus, post: 306087, member: 1509"] We calve out the older cows in a small field around the barn & working system in case it is needed. They usually don't get bedding unless it freezes, then some extra grass hay in the areas where they lay down. The heifiers calve indoors & are bedded down in a layer of shavings then a couple of bales of wheat straw. Easy to clean out, the urine runs through the straw into the shavings. The shavings have so much straw on top that they aren't a danger to the newborn. Even after we open the doors & let the newborns out, the moms will bed them down in there while they go eat. I'd better not let my cows read these posts about other cows getting bedding when it's cold! We may have a riot! [/QUOTE]
