Small Scale Cattle Farming 101 | When is Calving Season? Here's what matters most!

Small Scale Cattle Farming 101 | When is Calving Season? Here's what matters most! Raising cattle on a small farm doesn’t have to follow the same rules as massive western ranches. Here at Stoney Ridge Farm, we don’t deal with brutal winters, and calving every cow within the same week just doesn’t make sense for our climate or our operation. In today’s video, I explain why spreading calves throughout the year reduces stress, lowers risk, and actually creates a more consistent income stream. We’ll also talk about how taking cattle to market in smaller groups often brings higher prices, especially when there are fewer cattle at the sale barn. Instead of dumping one big load when prices are low, spreading out sales can help small farmers stay profitable and flexible. This is real-world cattle management for real small farms — not theory, not trends, just what works.
