[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 1543471, member: 18682"] not sure what happened to the rest of the thread.. been quite busy, and internet was down for quite a while..so haven't visited the thread.. anyways, the calves are heifers of an agribition winner and I am in no hurry to ship them.. I have them separated for now in a decent sized horse trailer. It causes more work for me to keep it clean etc, but they have shelter from the weather, and when mommas are completely dry will try to re-introduce them again.. As for what is proper accommodations /facilities, most cattle in the cariboo are lucky if they have a few trees to hide under when the weather is bad, and maybe there is abit of left over hay to lay on,on top of the snow, so my cows "have it made in the shade" with an old shed to keep the hail off of their heads when it comes down the size of marbles, and when it is minus 40F they have a dry place to lay down out of the wind and snow... .Not saying that most of the ranchers in this area are right the way they house their animals, ( or lack of housing) but that is the way most of the cattle are raised here, so my cows have pretty good facilities..
