    Is it still too Frosty at night to let out cows with 2 week old calves,

    Was thinking Of letting out the older ones 2mor

    Colder days + nights given down for the w/end

    Leave in or let em off....what are others doing?

    As soon as they calf there out, I find pure cold does them no harm, cold and wet is a different story, have they shelter where you plan to let them have out?

    100 times better off outside. Cold will do them no harm. Very wet weather with no shelter is a different matter.
