Just wondering when people here calve. I'm in Iowa, normally I calve in February. This year with the cold it is kicking me in the butt! I'm thinking serious of going to March 15.
Years ago we had quite a scour problem. Seemed like we get e-coli taken care of then comes roto-virus then cloustrium. One day the vet was getting perplexed with my problem and suggested I try to calve in February. He said frozen ground is cold but clean. I've been getting along fine but after this winter I'm thinking of pushing it later.
I guess my question is two fold. Your calving date and what is the average temp when you do it??
