[QUOTE="devonian, post: 1605765, member: 38413"] We keep our small beef suckler herd outside from april to november aprox. And bring the cows in over winter and they usually calve inside. Lately however we have been getting calves born early in September and October and in the UK this time of year they can get subjected to all kinds of nasty windy cold and wet weather, followed by nice sunny days like today. I'm thinking of building a shelter a bit like a pig arc for these young calves for the future, but is it worthwhile me doing this?? Does bad weather really cause ill health in young calves?? [/QUOTE]
