[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14017"] We normally calve in early to mid March. This year for some reason we sarted calving early, like two to three weeks. Snow/ice was the rule instead of rain/mud. I prefer the rain/mud scenario because at least they aren't cold. That's my take on it. But, there are a number of large ranches in Montana and that area that prefer to calve on the snow because of less pnemonea (sp) problems. I like the rain cause I don't get as cold checking on the ladies and messing with newborn calves. dunmovin farms > We generally calve around the > middle to the end of March.My ? > is,Wouldn't it be better to calve > at the end of February to the > Middle of March.The reason is here > in Wisconsin the end of March it's > a little warmer,but it's raining > and so muddy.I thought if the > calves are a month old,they could > tolerate the weather better.We > have the Cows calve inside and > keep them there for 2-3 days and > then send them out if the weather > is nasty.Just wondering on your > thoughts? > Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
