[QUOTE="Lee VanRoss, post: 1667815, member: 40072"] There is nothing the cattle business that affects the bottom line more than a live calf. The best time to calve is when the ambient temperature is not a threat to the life of the calf. The weight that I lost through calving in sync with nature is made up in live calves sold, no med$, shelters, time [I]wasted looking for calves instead of counting calves. [/I]Pulling calves is another waste of time that for the most part can be eliminated with a little common sense in heifer and bull selection. (I will get skewered for that!) It is the No Sale or One time sales that fail the profit test. Nothing ,just happens, in this business. There is always a cause and a subsequent consequence be it good or bad. Will they all live, NO Can more be saved by calving in sync with nature, Yes [/QUOTE]
