Calving
Calving season is a pivotal time for cattle producers, marking the start of a new generation and the future of their cow herd. From preparing for new arrivals to managing potential complications and ensuring calf health, every decision is crucial. Developing a proactive management strategy limits stress on the cow and calf while fostering optimal nutrition and health for both.
The first few hours of a calf’s life are critical to its success. Sometimes when producers need to intervene, the new mom goes into protection mode.
Preparing for frigid temperatures can help producers facing inclement weather this calving season.
There are many differences between individuals in the development of these signs and certainly age is a factor.
