[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 280352, member: 2862"] Our warmer weather brings insects and rain. Often lots of rain for days at a time. I'd rather calve in -40 than prowl the pens on pneumonia patrol in May. May nightime rains are cold, miserable suckers that get right down to your bones. Those calves born in Feb and March simply shake the rain off and go back to bucking and playing. March is a good time to start calving, but its not unheard of to have -30 and -40 in March. By mid-April, the snows are starting to go and pens are getting sloppy. May is when I help the old man with his grain operation. June is haying time. And I won't remotely think about calving later than June. Rod [/QUOTE]
