[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1087309, member: 18809"] We are in the middle of it right now, got about 4 inches of snow already, - 2 degrees right now, and expecting -20 tonight into Monday!!!! We never see these kinds of temps around here... and guess what? We had an embryo calf born last night! I was heat checking for the night, and noticed the recip cow not due until the 14th in the corner by herself. Brought her up to the barn, shut her in a pen with clean straw, and an hour later she gave us this: [img]http://ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/IMG_1136.JPG[/img] The calf is a Steel Force embryo calf, so you bet she will stay in the barn until this cold front moves past. A wonderful heifer for my daughter, and she weighed 66 pounds so small (probably because she is early)! We put down a few small bales of straw in the gathering pen in the barn, and made sure the creep pen had fresh straw, hay and some winter creep in the feeder to keep the babies attracted to staying out of the way. I have a new calf, born Christmas day, that I need to go check on. I might lock her in tonight also! All I can say is I am NOT liking this weather!!! We have two more recips not due until next week, so I will look at them closely!!!! [/QUOTE]
