Looking good. But, why calve so early? I got away from it and now calve in april-may. It just seemed like we were fighting mother nature too much; cold, snow, wind, etc. No other creature in nature births in this kind of weather, so I thought why am I?

| formenwhogrow: Where do you live? The main and No.1 reason we calve this time of year is because if we wait until July 15th (April 15th approx. calving) to turn the bull in, the cows won't settle. It's too dern hot that time of year for the bulls to be fertile, let alone be interested in doing their job. I've read for years, "We should calve in sinc with mother nature"...........all written by guys who live up north. Good for them, but it doesn't work where 100 degrees in July is the norm.

| PA. Easy now. I wasn't trying to start an argument over husbandry. I just wondered what the reasoning was and you gave me an answer. Probably a bit milder in MO in February than in Penna. Besides, I didn't ask you, I asked Erik KS farmer not RandalinMO. Didn't know you were his speaking representative. :)
