Modified Minnesota Winter Calving Method

[Stocker Steve]

Fall calving is too easy to I stepped in up a notch. I purchased a bunch of short bred heifers a year ago, two slipped a calf, got settled by a herd sire propect who was still on the cow, and so I ended up with 2 December calvers. They both calved this month on a clean strip out in an open bale grazing field. Calves use the round bales for wind breaks. Ended up with one single and a pair of live twins - - which positions me for a 150% weaning percentage! :banana:

Do you think I can get a Federal grant to improve on this high productivity method ??? :cowboy:

You are lucky you don't get an extra calf tax. We need to keep this quiet.
