Abstract

For most of us the beauty of spring has been with us for at least a few weeks and has been a pleasant distraction from the drastic changes we have witnessed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Spring also brings many reminders that life goes on and that we adapt to change. For my own family, we are nearly at the end of one of the most enjoyable calving seasons we have ever had. Despite all that is going on in the world, calves are going to be born and animals need to be fed. No one complained about not being able to get off of the farm and every teenager or young adult living under my roof pitched in. I would say that the 2020 calf crop will be the quietist, most handled group of calves that we have ever raised.
