Home Forums Miscellaneous Topics Rural Living Ice, Snow, Baby Calves

We had an ice storm, then more ice and sleet, and now snow. Temp has been below freezing for a week. I had a calf born early this morning. Thankfully it was an older cow, who knew how to take care of her baby, and on a night when the temps were in the low 20's, not with a wind chill of below zero.

Glad it's working well for you James.

I'm not a cow guy, but my farm manager is, and he says he'd rather have calves in February when it's cold and dry than in late March when it's cool and wet. He gets pretty grumpy when it starts raining when he's calving.

Good job, James.

So far I have quite a few showing heavy, but they have held off.

One more night...
