[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 603624, member: 7398"] I start calving in Dec and Jan in a northern climate (in order to have bulls by breeding season). I'm quite careful to allow the cows to calve in my calving barn, but I'm wondering about the age a calf needs to be to withstand the elements? The upside of having them penned is keeping the wind and snow off them obviously. The downside is sanitation and moisture. I think things just stay healthier outside and I'd like to get them out as soon as possible. I actually understand that January can actually be safer than March to some extent because cold is less dangerous than rain. Thoughts from you snow birds? [/QUOTE]
