[QUOTE="novaman, post: 807110, member: 2744"] I've been told that a lot of times issues with frozen feet won't show up until later in life. Besides if you are a buyer would you really want to take a risk on calves that you know were exposed to freezing temps (ears) or would you pass and choose from all the other cattle running through the ring. Excuse or not there is a higher risk involved. I can't say that I like seeing a nice heavy calf get discounted on account of losing its ears but I can certainly understand the reasoning. All the more incentive to do what's necessary to keep the ears in good shape and it doesn't take much cold combined with wind to freeze em up solid. [/QUOTE]
