How Cold is Too Cold

[nkotb]

We were hoping to wash and clip calves this weekend to get pictures of the sale calves.  It is supposed to be 55 for a high and 34 for a low.  My question is, how cold is too cold?  I was hoping to start around 9, just didnt know if it was still below 40 if that would be too cold?  We would be doing one at a time, and getting them blown out pretty quick.

i'd say around -20 is to cold. 40 isn't anything

It often rains during the day, then drops well below freezing at night and cattle have no choice but to deal with it. Considering the fact you'll be blowing them dry, i wouldn't stress it one bit.

When the water hose freezes.

When you turn the water hose on and only icicles come out, then you know it might be too cold!
