[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 288602, member: 539"] I can't say that I've seen 'coats' for calves, either. Cows calve in the pasture, heifers are penned when they get very close to calving so I can check them. No bedding (except uneaten hay) for the cows, heifers get straw if the corrals are mucky. Occasionally a calf will be bottled if born in a driving snow/rain storm, and they are slow to respond due to the cold. Usually the mother takes care of delivering, cleaning, drying, and feeding her calf with no intervention necessary. If the temps are very cold, and the calf had to be pulled, mother and calf are put in a pen under the open calving shed. Once in a very great while (last one was 4 years ago), a calf will end up on my porch, or in the feed shed overnight. [/QUOTE]
