[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 346858, member: 2308"] I have to wonder, after all I have seen new calves die in the summer due to over heating. So I really don't think it is any more inhumane calving in the summer or winter. One thing about winter is you can move them to a warmer place. It is pretty hard to move them to a cooler place in the summer (short of bringing them in the house). What IS inhumane is when people don't check on the cattle often enough. We are out every 3 hours, more often if we have one calving or if it is exceptionally cold. Plus, we have about 6 months of cold and snow. If I want good sized calves to sell when we prefer to sell I guess we will have to keep working with the system we have. [/QUOTE]
