I have been told and found last year that it seemed to work: feed grain in the late afternoon promotes daytime calving. On the other hand if you feed cows grain near calving time in the morning they tend to calve at night.
Anyone else feel this works this way? It seemed to for me last year. Gave them grain (just a couple buckets of sweet feed) about 5 pm and it seems like almost all of my calves were born during the daylight hours. Forget where I originally heard or read this but it seems to be true.
I'm going to try it again this year.
