Well we have started calving season on the ranch here in North Central Kansas. Bought our bull last May 11th at the Gardiner Angus sale and had him delivered to the girls on the 13th. Had 11 cows with calves on the side and another 10 that were still carrying calves when he went in. So far we had a calf on the 27th and the second one today. Not to bad for getting in there and getting to work. Both calves are heifers and were 73 and 76 pounds. Have several more that are showing signs of getting ready of having calves soon and the one we were sure was going to drop her calf this weekend and kept checking on is probably going to be the last now that we have jinxed ourselves. Jus glad they waited till after that extreme cold to start dropping them. We did lose one calf out of a first timer during the cold. never found the calf just the mom with afterbirth hanging. Yotes are so bad out here if you don't find it immediately you never will. So not sure if it was still born or froze or what happened.
