The 2017 calf crop is taking shape and breeding season is currently or soon will be underway. It is feeling to see cow-calf pairs turned out to fresh pastures for the first grazing of the season. We can’t relax too much.
This is a critical time of the year for producers to focus on the needs of the herd. This is especially true for yearling heifers and two-year-olds nursing their first calves.
