We're giving serious consideration to moving our calving season to start mid April rather than mid March. For those who have made the change, what have been some of the suprises? Any new management considerations? Change in marketing plans? Every March I dream of calving a month later...next year my dream just might come true.

A little background...I live in north central SD. Cows winter on hay only, no grain. Very little scours, as we don't calve in lots. I'm thinking we might not save a whole lot on feed (or will I?) and vet, but the labor is definitely an issue right now. Thats the main reason for the switch.
