[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 639846, member: 7509"] I'm in central South Dakota tonight and the outside temperature right now is -11 degrees F (this is the temp with no windchill added) which is equal to -24 degrees C. By the way, here is a site with a simple conversion back and forth from centigrade to fahrenheit or vice versa: [url]http://www.wbuf.noaa.gov/tempfc.htm[/url] There must be some sort of rule that you are notr allowed to calve when you are having to use #1 diesel in your truck! Calving outdoors on pasture right now is about like calving inside your kitchen freezer except your freezer would be warmer! Most folks in SD calving now do have facilities to calve indoors however. My cattle in Wisconsin are scheduled to begin calving about April 15th or 19th. I was thinking about moving my bull in date up this summer but just changed my mind! Since my Herefords must calve out on the pasture on their own, the bull in date stays at July 1 ! [/QUOTE]
