[QUOTE="PATB, post: 32560, member: 45"] winter calving advantages for me 1. money= market buyers in my area want 700 lb plus calves and will pay. 400 lb calves do not work well in the maine and vermont feedlots in the winter. 2. ease of ai. cows are in confined area for winter feeding. 3. ease of weighing, tagging and and preventive shot for newborn calfs 4. less sickness since ground is frozen 5. time management not trying to calve and breed during hay season. 6. Cows can recover body condition before cold weather sets in on fall grass 7. calves are old enough to take advantage of sping pasture milk flush 8. less udder problems 9. pasture management. Calves are weaned and put in preconditioning lot when pasture is in shortest supply 10. young bulls are older for the commercial breeders who have conventional spring season. [/QUOTE]
