[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 691680, member: 539"] Cows and calves were outside the vast majority of the time. Only exception was if a cow calved during a blizzard, or if she calved and temps were in the extreme below 0 area. But, we also regularly checked our animals during calving time. No barn, no shed, but we did have windbreaks that they could get behind as well as trees in the pastures. If your calf is a bottle calf, I would give him/her access to a loafing type shed for protection from the wind, cold, and snow for the first winter. If he is on his mom, I wouldn't worry about it.
