[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1736927, member: 38220"] I do calve on the same time frame as my neighbors. Manage the cows the same as my neighbors too -- run them just like any commercial herd in the area. The main thing I hate is the March-April blizzards because we don't have enough protected area yet. I plan to remedy that problem this year by building about 7-8 portable windbreaks and a 72x96 windbreak with 60' of open face shed with a cow excluder bar that the calves can get into. I can build the windbreak/shed combo for about $6000 (less than sales of 2 bulls) and solve about 3/4 of my problems with blizzards. [/QUOTE]
