[QUOTE="artesianspringsfarm, post: 1244561, member: 20360"] bse, Thanks for your thoughts. The reason I'd like to have them abort and push back is because the prospect of calving in our climate in February isnt pretty, at least not for our setup. This year, with the first calf coming in early March, I still lost 3 calves due to weather. In March, the snow was so deep that cattle wouldnt leave their little trails or hay pack. Had one calf drown, one get laid on in the haypack, and another one lost to weather related. WIth the snow this deep, I also couldnt separate the bull out to another area because I cant use my working area with snow this deep so I was stuck. Now to think about moving the calving into the dead of winter is not okay with me. I HAVE to get my season changed to late spring. I have considered letting the heifer go this year and just luting the cows because I don't want to do anything to mess up this heifer. [/QUOTE]
