[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1609244, member: 968"] You cannot compare sheep to cattle. Lambs are born looking for a place to die. Calves are quite hardy in comparison. I have to admit, I was chuckling when you were talking about it being down to 0. We have calves born down to 0, but it is 0 F no 0 C !!! All my calves are born in the barn, but the temp in the barn is the same as outdoors - they just don't have any wind to contend with. We get down to -15F or lower many nights during my calving season. Lots colder in many other places, but we do have a very moist cold here in NY. We do lose ear tips now and then - even have had a calf lose most of her tail from freezing - even in the barn. If feeding isn't a concern, I would calve when it suited your convenience. [/QUOTE]
