[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 817696, member: 2308"] Dun, we will usually go about the same as you. A couple more than a week early then really get into it a couple days before they are due. But with this cold we've really had to be watching, just in case. Greg, we leave the toques for as long as we can. I think by late afternoon they had their ears uncovered. Once their ears dry off they are usually good to go. I wish it were as easy as just putting them in the barn on straw, but it isn't insulated or heated, so when it is below -15 C (3-4 F) it is still darn cold in the barn, cold enough to freeze ears for sure! But at least no wind. Once we get calving, if it is cold and we have several cows staying in the barn, that will warm it up a lot, but 1 cow just doesn't do it..... [/QUOTE]
