When do you put your calves in your cool room?  Early spring to try and keep the winter coat or do you let them shed out first then put them in?

You would want them in now so you can keep as much hair as you can in this heat.  You do need to be careful though, if you keep a steer in a 60 degree cool room prior to the fair, 100 degree heat could cause major stress.
