[QUOTE="mwj, post: 59879, member: 491"] Wet cold calves equal trouble unless the cow does a good job drying them off and keeping them dry. Cold and dry is a lot better than cold and wet. The core temp. drops like a rock when they are wet and they are dead before long. If you had 5 die in the sleet storm that is the answer to your question. As far as the cow that died calving I can see no conection to the bull unless he throws very high birthweight calves. My advice would be if you are calving in a sleet and cold situation you better be prepared to be on hand for the calving or stand the losses. your friend Mike [/QUOTE]
