Beef producers are at various stages of the calving season right now. For DaKitch Farms near Ada, Minnesota, they are toward the end. Matthew Kitchell says with new technology and upgrades over the years as they’ve moved their calving season earlier, things have been going smooth. Kitchell says the use of cameras and having an insulated calving shed has made dealing with this much snow a little easier. “As long as they’re dry, they’ll stay healthy and do well,” says Kitchell. He adds that proper nutrition and genetic selection are also key to a successful calving season.
