[QUOTE="novaman, post: 799303, member: 2744"] I'm scratching my head on that one too. Obviously in my part of the world year round calving doesn't work so great. Even with the dairy I shut down calving for a few of the coldest months. I can see where you fellas down south could make it work quite well. I still have to question whether you are making anymore money even with the extra calf. Your weaning weights would have to be quite variable and the uniformity of the calf crop would be relatively poor I would imagine. I think the two biggest things an individual can do to boost the price they receive when selling calves is to have a uniform group and sell at the proper time. We all know that historically prices are higher in the spring because there just aren't the numbers moving into feedlots as there is in the fall. How do you hit that target when you've got calving dates that change every year? [/QUOTE]
