[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 573603, member: 1682"] Late blizzard is no problem. This year we did have a wicked one that dropped a foot of heavy wet snow on April 26, middle of the calving season. We knew it was coming and gave the cows and calves plenty of straw. No calves got sick, none died. Most people around here are calving April and May, some even later, so freezing to death is out. Dogs are rare...and if found chasing cattle, owner is contacted to let him know...every one to this date has been taken out by the owner and shot. Coyotes, wolves and bears can be given rather lucrative compensations, so losing an animal (provided you find the carcass) does not hurt your bottom line. Our conception rate last year was 100%. Is always above 95%. Lost one calf at birth. You still do suffer the whims of the market, but have a much longer time period and options to work with. :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
