[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 634112, member: 539"] My bottle calves were never confined to a barn - keeping calves locked up in a barn is the fastest way there is to make them sick because they don't have fresh air, sunshine, and they cannot become acclimated to the temperatures/conditions of the area. Even 1 day old calves were housed under a 3-sided shed, bedding was provided(usually straw, or old crappy grass hay), and the calf could wander in and out as he/she saw fit. If I were you, I would open the door, make sure it stays open, and let the calf decide whether to be in or out. [/QUOTE]
