STARTED CALVING

[TJM]

We had a vet that thought the colder the weather and the longer the period of cold, the calves would be heavier. He thought this happened because of increase in blood flow and the animals ate more to stay warm, so had more to offer the unborn calf as far as nutrients. I tend to agree with his theory in part, any late calves around here are rarely extreme. Good luck in the calving barn everyone!!!!

Muttley did u synchronize your cows-if u did how were your results. I custom AI several hundred cows every spring and have seen some mixed results so far.
