[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 1011110, member: 2308"] Weather here has been awful nasty too. We had a pretty nice winter, quite a bit of snow once January rolled in, but temps were pretty good. Guess we should have started calving then. About Mar 1, we started calving and the temps took a big dip, and stayed there. Add in snow storms and wind and it has been pretty miserable all around. April started out OK, but then changed her mind and went for the cold and nasty too. The barn got well used this year! A lot of guys start calving around the 20th of March here, there have been some pretty big losses, ranch guys that don't have the facilities for this kind of weather. It isn't often this cold this late in the season here. We've done well, but we are prepared to handle the cold as we calve earlier. We've lost only 2 calves to the weather. Have a few that are missing parts of their ears, but they are OK other than that... [/QUOTE]
