[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1167977, member: 5381"] I don't like summer calves but I have had my share, usually with no problems including 4 this week. One thing I noticed that might be all BS is that the cows that calve late in the summer seem to take it better than the one that calve just as its getting hot. My theory is that they are used to it a little bit and since the calf is coming out of a 100 degree body, the 100 temp is not much of a change. As long as they have some shade they will be fine. As cow pollinator said, the big swings are what can get you. I moved by fall calving start date up to mid august for that reason. Some calve when its 100 but most get it done before the nights fall into the 50's where you start having some issues. [/QUOTE]
