Baldwin City, KS | Our cows are calving right along and we're in for some record lows for this time of year. Noaa shows below zero with plenty of wind and snow. I don't have a barn to calve in, just some decent windbreaks and bedding. I plan to be checking very frequently. My question: in -4 with 25-30 mph wind, will a new calf even have a chance of taking off? Should I let the cow have a shot at it, or just dry him off myself and warm him up to start with? I hate messing with them if I don't have too, but this storm is shaping up to be brutal. Just wanted a few thoughts on dealing with it. Thanks. | |
