[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 614312, member: 8978"] Victoria and JKA: Sure agree with both of you on the March/April weather. It seems like March is becoming the toughest month of the winter anymore and April can be so darned unpredictable? I know January sometimes is alright...not so sure about last year...it was pretty brutal the last week or so? I think if you have the facilities and don't mind the extra work winter calving can work very well, especially if you are selling calves? I doubt many May/June calves would make 500 lbs. by late October while many Jan/Feb calves would be pushing down the scales at 750lb.? I think cow/calf producers, who don't want to carry calves over, would have a tough time with a late calving program. Don't know if I do it the right way or not but I don't think I could cut it calving in the winter anymore. I'll leave that for you young ambitious types! Just hoping we all get better prices this year for both calves and yearlings. [/QUOTE]
