Three and a half feet of snow is miserable for anyone, but having 150 head of cattle, all roughly two weeks away from calving, is really tough. KXLY 4's McKay Allen reports.
I'm not sure where ericjanks lives, but here in Montana, most of us ranchers do calve in the winter. Most calve January or February so the calves are big enough to go to market in November. I know some people do calve late spring or even fall, but most that I know are winter calvers.
cool video...i am a cattle rancher and understand the hard times this guy is going through....i would assume however that this is an un expected winter that popped up in the middle of the spring? Let me explain...a good live stock production plans it out so that the calves arent born in the winter. If you keep your bulls seperately you can time it so they give birth 9 months after that. you time it so they aren't giving birtin in the winter as the death rate sky rockets. Good luck farmer!
