[QUOTE="Longshot Cattle Co, post: 57938, member: 387"] Has anyone had any problems with newborn calves freezing to death? We have lost 4 calves in the last week because the cow dropped the calf in freezing mud slop, unfortunately the weather here is not cooperating with us. Saturday, we had 2 calves born, the first appeared very weak and stiff, we rinsed with warm water and blew it dry with the blower. Gave it some colostrum and put her back with mama. she's fine. An hour later we located a calf by the bawling , it was half frozen already, took this one in the bathtub and tried to warm it up, but it was too far gone. With 100 head of cattle this is just not practical. I might add that we bought these animals bred and did not have a clue when they would calve because the exposure dates were wrong. Any suggestions? :x [/QUOTE]
