I've tried calving in early June but UP here our black flies can be so bad at that time that the momma cows won't stand still long enough to birth a calf and once it comes out they usually won't want anything to do with it and won't let it nurse because the flies are so bad. Last June calf I had was blind because while in labor the flies ate the calves eyes right out of its head.

I take a little extra time and precaution and calve in the middle of April thru May. Make sure to check the cows often and get calves warm and dry if the weather is bad. By fly season the calves are old enough they can withstand the flies better.
