[QUOTE="SPRINGER FARMS MURRAY GRE, post: 57981, member: 95"] Sorry for your troubles,guess it goes with the territory. COLD and WET can be a lethal combination. A cold rain hurts cows moe than the snow, especially with a wind chill factored in. just another reason for specific breeding seasons. My neighbor has been in the business for over 50 years,he used to run a bull with the girls year round and has taken his lumps losing calves to the cold, even in Arkansas. This year though,he started penning up his bulls with the intent of putting them back in the middle of May so that his calves would be born in mid-march when the grass starts coming back out and it is a little warmer.
