[QUOTE="callmefence, post: 1419378, member: 24947"] They can take getting rained on. Its usually best to give em space in my opinion. As long as the cow seems to looking after it. Sometimes to much meddling will do more harm than good. Try to observe from a distance. A calf that gets up and stretches when you approach is a good sign. A calf that frantically tires to nurse all the wrong places is a bad sign. Though as long as mom cooperates they usually get it figured out. With a brand new calf look for just one teat nursed down. I would rather one be born in the rain than in 90 degree heat and rained on a week later. [/QUOTE]
