| Wife and I currently calve out around 150 every year, plus we still have a few sheep coming in at that time. We do the ewes starting in Feb. and the cows start around April 5. I wouldn't go to a split season thing, to me it seems like twice as much work. If you have good mothers, they're still work, but a good mom still makes things go easier. I should add that I've also got an off farm job, working a couple days a week at the Post Office and trying to get ready for spring planting at the same time. Everything seems to get done somehow. |
