[QUOTE="Larry Sansom, post: 32532, member: 332"] [b]June calving is the PREFERRED Date for profitable calving if you are calving in sync with nature. Has been proven to be the most profitable time to calve by several studies. Massive benefits such as calves reach sexual maturity earlier if born near the longest day of the year, the cows are open during the hot part of the year, calves are weaned off in Jan - cheap to winter a dry cow and she flushes on cheap grass 30-45 days pre-calving. Also the weaned calf can be wintered cheap. Many on this board are hung up on their old ways - but you are on the right track. Cooler breeding time from late Aug - Sept Oct is beautiful weather in your country - so bulls are more active and breed better. I have used that season now for several years and will never go back to Jan/Feb calves unless I start to see deer "calving" in the cold snow of that season![/b] [/QUOTE]
