[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1198672, member: 9096"] Around here calving in july and august can be really hard on the calves if the mother doesn't have LOTS of milk, the calf will overheat and dehydrate quickly. With a good momma I haven't had any problems though, Had 3 in july/august this year and it was hot, but none of them had any trouble whatsoever. The calves are all looking pretty darned good now, the 2 steers (from good old cows) are well into the 500 lbs, and the heifer born to a first timer in august is in the 350 ballpark and looks good, She's got a heck of a butt on her and a good coat of hair for the winter. I think there might be a shortage of small calves in the springtime and I might get darned good prices for them. [/QUOTE]
