Abstract
- • If you have limited options, put cows that will be most affected by a period of poor weather (younger, lighter, earlier calvers) into paddocks with the most shelter, best soil condition or best feed.

Research has shown that during and on the day after rainfall events, some animals do not sit down for up to 24 hours due to sodden soil conditions with water pooling Once the weather improved, they spent more time lying down, to compensate.
