Same here. We have had over a foot of wet snow at the end of May several times. Seems like we get a spring snow storm in April almost every year. During 2002, we had snow hit the ground every month of the year except July. No BS. I've had neighbors cuss and moan to me about the wet snow miserable weather we sometimes get in May when they are trying to calve. I don't say much because we are about 2 months done by then. Our calves hold up better when its frozen and dry and not when its muddy with wet snow. After a cow calves we throw the pair in the barn for a couple of days just to make sure everything is going right. If it gets real cold like 40 below, we try to get as many in the barn as we can and go out every hr. Its also kinda hard to get any field work done when checking the cows every 3 hrs.
