[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1731496, member: 25884"] Went from 56 at 2 a.m. down to 32 by 5 p.m. and 22 overnight. Was a sunny but cold day up to 35... felt really cold. We try to start calving around Mar 10-15th so that calves are 6-8 weeks when we turn them out to pastures in late April-early May. Bulls go in by the end of May. With the unpredictable late winter/early spring weather in March, there is no good time to calve anymore. Trying to get a little tighter calving time this next year.... but it is hard to get bulls out of some of the pastures so we seldom can shorten the spring season... going to cut off the fall calving cows to calve by Dec 15th by getting the bulls out of the fields around the first of March this year.
