When does everybody calve? My wife and I had our first calf this year on January 4. We were finished calving by the end of February. There were a couple of winter storms and a blizzard that we had to go out in to make sure the calves were alright, but our last cow calved when it was 30 below zero and after three days of being shut up in the barn and a week of being allowed to go in and out, we kicked the pair out back into the lot. No problems. We know quite a few others up around here in NW Iowa who do calve early and others who don't. What does everyone do where they are from?
