[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 639871, member: 8978"] Sure glad I don't do this anymore. It's hard on man and beast alike. I sure don't miss clomping out at 2 AM and trying to catnap on the cot in the calving barn. A long stretch of really cold weather can just about wear you out. Used to calve 140 cows in January/Feb. but I did have good facilities. Large calving barn complete with maternity pen and heated room with all the bells and whistles for the dummie(me)! Good corral set up outside with cows in a ten acre calving area. Now they calve in May and it is "calve on your own or die trying" for the most part. Calve on 160 acres of brush/pasture and after dusk you are on your own until morning! Seems to work okay. [/QUOTE]
