[QUOTE="I luv herfrds, post: 736523, member: 5917"] Since I don't know your set up I will just give a bit of advise. I have in the past posted pics of our calves in snow. We like to put out straw for the calves to bed down in, they stay pretty warm then. As for newborn calves we will bring them in the barn and put the pair in a pen. As long as they are out of the wind the better. We also have an open shed we open for the pairs when the weather is really bad. The cows will lead their calves in and bed them down in that shed. If we can catch the cow calving and get her inside before she drops the calf even better. Good luck. I will trade you that snow for the bitter wind chill we have right now. ;-) :D [/QUOTE]
