- Begin bedding calf hutches, clean calving areas and properly bedded as the nights get cold and livestock need additional care. Bed calf hutches, insulate group calf hutches, tightening up windows, placing heating lamps inside hutches to protect cattle from winter elements such as sleet, snow, ice, freezing temperatures; put up windbreaks in calf pens, calving pens, and fresh cow pens to protect against cold stress. Bed calf hutches, heavily bed calving areas, bring calves into warmed hutch when they have been born in the cold, apply ointment to udders of calving cows and fresh cows (this ointment is necessary to prevent frozen teats), ensure that water troughs are thawed and clean, prevent slippery areas (slippery areas can cause cows to fall and sustain serious injuries); replace bedding as necessary to avoid contamination and disease.
