Should first time heifer be brought in for freshening when temps are in the teens?

Yes, if the heifer has not calved yet and is close she should be brought to the barn so she does not calve outside, and can receive the care needed when she does give birth. It is important that first time heifers be milked regularly, regardless of the temperature. This will decrease the risk of mastitis, milk production, and get her used to the milking process.
