Yeah, we have too many snowstorms February - April and I decided I want nothing to do with going out in shirt sleeves to help with kidding in a howling blizzard. Nor do I want to rig up heat lamps or bring wet, shivering kids into my house so they have a chance to dry before their ears freeze off. No winter kiddings for me! I was pleased to have kids in June last year when there was warm sunshine and green grass. The babies could play outside all they wanted instead of being cooped in up in their sheds out of the wind and cold, and moms and babies both got to enjoy the benefits of fresh browse instead of hay. Also, my last year's doe-lings weren't big enough to breed until recently.
