[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 617944, member: 6797"] I generally take a wrap of duct tape and stick it the calf's head - holding the ears flat against it's head - they never seem to freeze. Mom will eventually lick the tape off - never seems to hurt the moms. Otherwise as long as they are off the snow and out of the wind I leave them be. Every now and then we might have to help a calf - but not too often. Wind is the killer and lying on snow or wet beds is the next worse in my opinion. If it sucks it will make it. We calve on grass now. Bez+ [/QUOTE]
