I see that the calves are on corn stalk bedding.A very poor insulator from the cold.We used to bed our calves on wheat straw,thick enough that they could snuggle into it.

We liked oat straw. Not always easy to find but we did not need large quantities. It is softer and more absorbent than wheat straw.
