[QUOTE="glacierridge, post: 1080617, member: 19539"] As much as I love cows I agree with the crew, please get the calf out of your house. Even in the garage would be better. From my microbiology class and working with foods... You need to have things over a certain temp (140° I think) and below a certain temp (41°) to have the least amount of bacterial growth. Keeping her around the 40° mark will be plenty comfortable for her, she's got a fur coat, and will help keep what is making her sick at bay. We keep cattle in the barn and it's always more dangerous when it's too warm. We have to turn the fans on and keep it as close to the 40 mark in winter as we can to keep the animals healthy and we need them in the barn to keep from having water freezing up so my brother has to be a good steward to both his building and his animals and keeps a couple thermometers around to monitor. Please please please do her a favor and get her somewhere cooler to limit the bug problems. [/QUOTE]
