Clifford, North Dakota rancher Kevin Elliott is halfway through his calving season and started preparing for last week’s storm over a week in advance. Elliott received 12-to-15 inches of snow in the recent blizzard. Elliott, who’s an owner in Elliott Livestock, says the days following the storm are filled with cleaning up pens and bedding animals. “When we synchronize, we don’t have the facilities to calve everything at once so we’ve been pushing our calving date back. Last year was a complete muddy mess and honestly I think I prefer this year.”
