[QUOTE="AngusLimoX, post: 182924, member: 3319"] Why are we cleaning them off? You guys layin a guilt trip on me?? Lots of calves born colder than that without "human interference". I can see it if there is a problem ( calf unresponsive,momma incapacitated, etc..) but otherwise - why. There really should be no reason for us to be there except to catch problems. If your calves need a towel at birth, maybe the breed is in the wrong climate? ( Nope I am not a lazy sob who doesn't care about the critters, I just like their lives to be as close to natural as possible ). And sometimes we do more harm than good at calving.( Lots of biological action going on there between the licking cow and calf ). Where do we get out breed reputations these days? Yes those TOWLIES are a darned good cold weather breed! LOL [/QUOTE]
