[QUOTE="WRFarms, post: 1395706, member: 24663"] We always have a few come in below freezing weather, it's not a problem most of the time, but there was one this year that was pretty bad. Had one night with freezing rain. Naturally, had a heifer pick that night to calve. Calf's fine, it took too long to get up on it's own, so I had to put in the gator to warm it up/dry it off and give it a pint of colostrum. Good mama, stayed right there and was happy to have the calf back when I was done with it. I'm never going to make up the lost sleep though. [/QUOTE]
