These will be weaned or unweaned calves? I am guessing any that were weaned at 6 mos, then conditioned for 30,45,. 60 days or whatever, would weigh more than 400 lbs? These calves would have been born in August. Are there many people up there that calves in late summer like that? A lot of people...hell. most of them...around here calve year round, because they leave their bulls in year round. But those who do try too have a calving season, calve from October til April. May - September , you just have more problems with maggots, etc. That's one reason why we decided not to get those 80 Corr heifers bred to Angus bull out in Texas. They were exposed to a bull beginning Sept 23rd, So they are going to calve July and August. The herd we have now in south GA starts calving next month.Probably if I do that, I would try to get them bought in during February, and sell in August or early September. Pasture, and supplement, right now I'm feeding 1/3 cracked corn 1/3 soy hulls and 1/3 corn gluten pellets.
Do you raise corn, beans and/or cotton?
