[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1342758, member: 24027"] Calves are pretty resilient and generally do well in winter; heat stress is actually more detrimental. That said, we pushed back our spring calving to end of Feb/first of March because I was tired of frostbitten ears (one even lost part of his tail, named him Stumpy). No, slopping around in mud, snow & ice isn't fun but it's great exercise and if the weather's really bad we bring the cows down to the barn. You just figure out what works best for your operation and learn to be flexible. [/QUOTE]
