Why are you saving up cash? You buying your Grandpa out now? You going to let him rent his house or are you evicting him?
Fast calving is better than long and drawn out, IMHO.
I don't plan on buying him out for many many years I want to farm with him as long as I can. My grandpa is like my best friend so the longer I can do this farm stuff with him the better!
We want to be done calving by the end of April. Maybe by the last week? Which ho early it only looks like one cow will make it that long.
