[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 736890, member: 968"] There is no "one answer" fits all. Depends on your location. Here in upstate NY, I do everything I can to make sure the COW carries the calf into the barn (before calving :lol: ) because if she calves outside, there is a big chance the calf won't survive. If I save just one calf a year by being inside our barn, it is all worth it. Our barn is pretty much the same temp as outdoors (not very airtight) but, there is bedding and NO WIND. I have had "surprises" outside during the night & found calf frozen to the ground. Was it born dead? don't know, and don't want a repeat if possible. Some nights a calf could survive, some nights they couldn't. [/QUOTE]
