If producers are calving this time of year, it pays to have a plan of action for coming across a chilled calf. University of Missouri Extension (MU Extension)’...s Eldon Cole explained there are several ways to warm up a badly chilled calf.

Bringing the calf inside the farmhouse for a bit can also help warm them up. | Learn more from Ozarks Farm & Neighbor: https://bit.ly/3m4sgQO See more
