[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 530967, member: 539"] I wouldn't want to do it. Not only is there a lack of time, but the heat is going to depress appetites, and increase the spread of disease and fly problems. According to everything I've read, it is a proven fact that calving during the summer months results in calves not doing as well as calves born during cooler months. I know that on the few occasions we had cows/heifers that calved in July and August, those calves did not do nearly as well, and never seemed to catch up to the rest of the calves - despite the fact that we fed our calves over the winter and sold the following spring.
