[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1687712, member: 5381"] One thing I have noticed and it might be total BS is that the cows seem to not be bothered by the heat and calving in it if it is late in the summer. Its like they kind of get used to it and go on about their business. I have a lot of cows that drop in August. Like any time of the year, if the calf is strong and gets up, its fine. The way I look at it, the calf is coming out of a body that is 104 degrees so coming out on a warm night is like they are put in a incubator. Now what bothers me some is when the cows park their calves in the direct sunlight and walk off to the shade tree. It probably shouldn't as they seem to know what they are doing. [/QUOTE]
