[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1555529, member: 19683"] We calve them in individual pens too. Later join a couple in a bigger pen. It's a bit pf an extra work to keep them separate for two weeks, but it's worth it. At least for us. Last year we kept all cows in until March when weather was warm and nice. I want first to make sure that calves are nursing well, are strong and are smart enough to choose a warm place to sleep instead of a cold ground. At the moment it's pretty cold and a strong wind makes it even colder. Saw the latest heifer shivering, even if she's in the shed. Have put a heavy bedding of hay for all. Her tips of ears were frozen abit too. The piedx heifer is fully ready to be let out, but probably will wait a couple more days until the weather gets warmer. When calves will be out, they'll have a separate pen in the shed, where they'll be able to be away from moms and always have a nice warm place heavily bedded. This year we've a pretty big problem. Wolves... No seen for decades, but now saw some tracks near our pastures. That's one of the reasons why will wait for calves to be abit bigger to be let out. [/QUOTE]
