well, when calf #1 was born this year, she was born at 4 am in a blizzard (named her Blizzy), and by 6 she hadn't been licked nor had breakfast, so she was rather cold.
it was about 5F (-15C) out, and we had to dry her off, when it's warmer, an ordinary hair drier works well, but when it's that cold, take out a good heat gun, moves less air, but is MUCH MUCH hotter... it's good for your hands while you're working out there too, just be careful with it, it will singe hair really quick, or burn your hands, move it around lots and rub the calf with your spare hand (and keep your hand warm)
As for blizzy, she's got a vertebrae sticking out of the end of her tail, and the tips of her ears are a 3/4" shorter... I'm sure there'll be lots of those around this year with the weather we've been having
