[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 841963, member: 1715"] Most folks here calve March/April. In a bad spring they lose > 15% of the calves to the weather. I looked into building a loafing/calving barn. I think it would save one or two April/May calves per year, but that may not pay for the interest and the taxes, much less the principle. I know I could find things to store in it the rest of the year but that is not always a good thing. I am buying hay and considering late May/June calving instead of keeping calves in the pick up cab. I think you should calve a couple weeks after the walleyes spawn in your area... [/QUOTE]
