[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1609110, member: 5381"] Calve when your calves will benefit the most from your pastures. In other words about 5-7 months before you have your best growth of the year. I calve in early fall (Aug-Oct ) and feed hay when the calves are young and with their mothers. I have a big burst of grass in march April. I wean into this and the calves go to good pasture for 45 days and sell before it gets hot and dry. In a ideal world, the calves are gone when the hot summer takes the moisture and nutrition from the grass. Of course there are always a few stragglers that miss the deadline. Late calves are costly.
