Mild spring weather has been good for calving season. “Up in my neck of the woods, we’re kind of begging for little moisture, but as far as the calving season itself, it’s been pleasant,” said North Dakota Stockman’s Association President and Rugby, North Dakota, rancher Randy Schmitt. “We didn’t fight any bad weather to speak of. No big snowstorms like we normally would get, and so if that comes back to haunt us later, we’ll see, but I would classify it as an easy calving season.”
