Make plans for a better calving season in 2013

Now is the time to review your spring calving, and make plans for next year.

You may be slow to ask “how did calving go this spring?” because it brings memories of cold nights and not enough sleep. But if you wait too long, until the autumn, time will have mellowed most of the events, and you will have difficulty matching a calving season with particular problems.

So now is the best time to make a few notes on what to change for next year. The first step is to list the dead calves.
