[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1668639, member: 32659"] I think the calves freezing to the ground has allot to do with the mother cow. Some get them up quick and dry them off some are not as good mamas. I could be wrong though,?? We definitely got lucky, probably had 8 born during the cold snap and another 25 or so less than a month old. A few weeks ago I bought 12 really nice heifers that are 8 months bred. they were fat and pretty before the freeze and now they look poor and rangy looking. Luckily they started calving after the bad weather. Not sure why they took the cold so hard since they are alone and being overfed. [/QUOTE]
