[QUOTE="NorCalFarms, post: 279327, member: 2465"] Feb-March. We AI to calve Feb 10 usually, it is generally cold then, maybe a little snow but damn near always dry. If it does rain/snow it freezes solid quick so there is zero disease/pest problems. Nothing I hate seeing more than new calves in mud. A lot of years we get some really nice clear dry days in Feb. so the calves will hopefully be born then, get a start to brave the rest of winter, and be ready to really hit the grass in April/May. I also like the ability change the diet of the cows so they are in good condition before they calve, as in more alfalfa during the last three months and right after they calve. I always like to save some of the best hay for cows we move to a lot right after they calve, helps them, the calves, and them get rebred quick. [/QUOTE]
