[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1670933, member: 38101"] Zero frozen calves. I think you southerners freeze more than we do. Very little scours no deaths - move older calves away from the younger ones. Cows are fit - feed away from the water source, extensively winter and only pen a couple weeks before calving. Year before last weaned over 100%. Last year 2 cows went to pasture without a calf - very quick respiratory illness. Doing Inforce this year. All cows except heifers bred continental. I'm interested in how calving on grass and what genetics make dystocia not happen because I seem to be saving the odd cow and or calf. Still might not be worth switching depending on what breed of calf is produced and weights in October. Coasting dry cows and not feeding calves is cheap and 600lb calves sell well in Oct here.
