At this time of year when the weather is kinder , when a cow calves down , the calf is straight out to a field in a barrow without ever touching the straw bed for 24 to 48 hrs , cow is milked , calf is tubed and cow + calf enjoy the great outdoors for a bit until calf is put in calf shed and cow joins the herd . I think most calf problems are picked up during this timeSo realistically I would have to keep the calves out too? As whatever is in my calving pen will most likely be in the calf shed as the calves will have transfered it across?
