[QUOTE="Farm Fence Solutions, post: 1456433, member: 26621"] We calve August-October except for heifers. I've never had one freeze to death or mashed to death near a bale ring in the mud like when we calved early spring. Keeping pastures free of tall weeds is key to dodging pinkeye outbreaks, and healthy cattle don't generally have an issue. (I'm not starting a mineral debate.....) Pinkeye vaccine is cheap. I have more time in the winter, so it's easier for me to get calves worked, etc if we calve in the "fall". We have a very good vet, and he swore to me that there is nothing a fly carries that will kill a calf. Every calving season has it's advantages. This is the one that works for us. [/QUOTE]
