I have good friends who raise beef cattle in upstate New York and they usually expect about 30 - 40 calves each year and like you, let the mothers do their thing in the pasture. They keep their cattle outside all year and say the cattle prefer it that way. They do have to go out every day to check on the expectant mothers and keep a written log of their cattle. If the winter is mild through Jan/Feb, the calves gain more weight and sell for more. What a life. I enjoy reading your posts too.
