[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 806934, member: 5106"] Everyone gets toques for a couple of days after they are born in cold weather, like these 3 were Especially if mom is a heifer. New moms cannot seem to stop licking a new babes ears for the first couple of days, after that the novelty wears off. As far as boys, they don't need anything as they lay on their "boys" and keep them warm on the nice thick straw pack we have for them . Frost bite isn't an issue for us ,but freezing ears is ,only because moms like to lick them or they are born in between checks and have gotten cold. I have thought about calving in June instead but it wouldn't be near as much fun.. :lol: :P Supposed to be nice for a few days and may even reach the plus's .. kinda defects the reasons for winter calving though . :? That first little heifer born got to spend the night in the house with me as she was premature and we got to -40 with the wind chill. I did not want to risk her getting chilled more than she had too ,thankfully mom was anxious to have her back again. [/QUOTE]
