A calf might make it three or four days without sucking in the winter, but it won't take long for one to dry up and die this time of year.aplusmnt":3udzmjpm said:Wondering if any special concerns a person should have with calving and with a young calf experiencing his or her first few days in triple digit weather?
and if you're in an area with fireants, & they don't get up right away, you can end up with a blind calf.
