[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 737420, member: 539"] Are they penned, or are they on pasture? You stated in another post that they have woods and brush to get out of the wind. Snow certainly does not help, but the cold and wind is you're real enemy. If these are first time heifers, I would consider penning them so I could watch them and intervene if necessary. I would also keep straw or trash hay spread out in a sheltered spot in the corral for them to calve on. You might be surprised at how many will go to the straw/trash hay to calve. Otherwise, about all you can do is to check them as often as possible, and intervene when needed. [/QUOTE]
