Are you a cattle rancher? Are you a farmer? Are you an ag investor?
Are you a cattle rancher in a part of the world where snow, freezing rain, and otherwise nasty weather can persist well into April and May?
What time of year do you have your cattle calving?
Is calving in January, February, or March a difficult time of year with sleepless nights checking on cows, loading half frozen calves into pickup trucks to warm up, feeding large amounts of stored feeds?
What does all of that cost? Why are folks calving out their cow herds in the dead of winter?
Think about that phrase, "the dead of winter."
In your region, when do wild ungulates; deer, elk, moose, pronghorn... when do they have their young?
If you are a a rancher or farmer who prefers signing the back of the check over signing the front of it (thank you, Gabe Brown), and you want to learn how to do that repeatedly, check out Soil Health Academy?and Understanding Ag, LLC - Experts in Regenerative Ag! There are learning opportunities all across North America, the UK, and soon - the EU!
Remember these two things:
1) If your ag operation isn't profitable, regardless of scale or where you are located in the world, your operation is unsustainable and non-regenerative.
Financial profitability is part and parcel to regenerative agriculture - farming and ranching in synchrony with nature.
2) "Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right." ?- ?quote attributed to Thomas Jefferson.

Yes I remember reading years ago about farmers who were saying they wanted legislation against factory farming because they hated doing it but couldn’t keep their businesses afloat doing something better while competitors were still doing the factory farming.
