The start of calving is just three months away. It’s important to prepare both physically and mentally for this stressful period. What jobs can be done now that won’t have to be done in spring? Replace teats in milk feeders, bed pens with straw, etc.
Some farmers talk about banking stress by taking time off now to mentally and physically prepare for the spring.

Preparation for war starts in peacetime.
