[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 191348, member: 220"] Frozen ears are a sign that it was very cold when a calf was born. (If you think you get hit for selling a short eared calf, try selling one with short ears and tail.) Basically, the thinking is that if it was cold enough when the calf was born for it freeze it's extremities, then there is also a strong chance that it's lungs have been damaged by the cold. Calves with lung damage don't tend to do as well as their healthier counterparts. Cattle who have had lung damage due to cold don't always exhibit many obvious signs until they are starting to get closer to being finished...then sometimes you can hear them breathing from quite a few feet away from the animal. Take care. [/QUOTE]
