[QUOTE="lakeportfarms, post: 627344, member: 9413"] Hello all, I've been looking at the post for quite a while and find a lot of great information. My wife and I are newbies to beef cattle, starting just last August. We have our first calf, a Black Angus born 2 weeks ago. I think it was about -5 f when she was born, it's been in single digits and below zero a lot here in Michigan with a lot of snow. We're a bit concerned that she is only taking the front two teets, leaving the back ones untouched. She doesn't seem to be very active or showing any evidence of putting on any weight, she's not much different than the day she was born. Both mom and the calf have a barn to hide out in and the calf seems to prefer to stay in the stall most of the time. Any suggestions to try to get her a little more active, do we need to try to get her to take the other two quarters, or is this normal in these conditions? Thanks, Hans [/QUOTE]
