[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 618866, member: 8978"] Used to calve in the winter. When the market decided they didn't want to pay decent money for calves, we switched over to selling as yearlings and started calving in May/June. Sure is a lot less work. Calves born on grass seldom have "weather issues" to contend with. Not sure if it is more profitable to do it this way or not? Not sure there is much profit right now, however you do it, but I would never go back to living with the cows all night in January/February! Still have the barn, maternity pen, hot air blower, space heater, calf box, barn living quarters...just don't use them anymore. [/QUOTE]
