[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1389368, member: 25884"] I agree, if the calf has been up and nursed, and the cow is a cow, not a first calf heifer, then I would leave them alone. Do they have some places to get out of the worst of the weather? Maybe some cedar trees or something and maybe you rolled out a roll of hay or a mound of hay from where you moved the next roll somewhere else? The cow will take care of it if it has been up and dry and nursed. I would be a little more concerned if it was a first calf heifer, but if the calf has figured out which end of momma to go to and the cow is letting it, then you should be okay. Hope you recover quickly and remember, YOU ARE MORE IMPORTANT than the cow regardless. We all try to take the best care of our animals as we can, but there isn't one cow that is worth you getting down, hurt, sick, or worse. [/QUOTE]
