[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 500227, member: 5106"] Yes problems do occur occasionally ; it is more common with a higher producing cow and usually in the first month when the calf cannot empty the udder completely.The udder will actually freeze and you will lose that quarter.(This is more common with a dairy breed) The teats usually just get chapped so you have to watch that the calf is going after all four or there could be a possibility of mastitis. It is essential to have wind breaks and plenty of bedding when calving in such frigid conditions and usually healthy cows will stay healthy. [/QUOTE]
