[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 191893, member: 2308"] Depending on where you live, and up here in Canada, is a good example, it can get cold enough to freeze not only ears, but tails AND feet. We have kept lots of frozen eared calves for replacements, and have never had a problem. I have, however, seen calves that have frozen their feet bad enough that their hooves literally fell off. Those ones don't make it to the feedlots, but there are lots that had a touch of frostbite, and their feet will either refreeze the following winter, or they will get so bad/sore that they cannot stand or walk. They certainly won't last until the calf is slaughter weight. WE haven't had any that had frozen feet, or for that matter damage to their lungs. And, if we did they would go to market or be put down depending on circumstances, not end up in the cow herd. [/QUOTE]
