[QUOTE="mncowboy, post: 725404, member: 13422"] You'll have to let the cow clean the calf off, but as you seem to know already if she continues it can be counter productive and they'll loose their ears. What we have been using is a calf warming box. Its a polly single calf sled and cover. In the sled is a rubber coated grate with a heater blowing air beneath the calf rising up and around it. The nice thing about it is it warms the calf slowly as to not send it into shock. Couple hours in there and it'll come out dry and fluffy. Its still important to let the cow clean the calf first to create the maternal bond but after that, your good to go. They seem to run about $350 or so but, after saving one calf its paid for itself.
