Based on history when is the best time to buy and the best time to sell in regards to which months.

There are times that buyers are looking for six month old steers at the sale barn and if there are several buyers bidding, steers can go really high in July/August.
Cattle are really no different than the stocks all Wall Street. There are stocks from corps who are out of favor with the public, but worth much more than the going price. Then there are the guppy stocks that are priced more than they are really worth but have potential.
I can only hope several people happen to be looking for cattle like mine when I hit the sale barn.
If I were simply buying and reselling, I'd buy in November/December and sell in March/April and ensure that I had forage and hay to feed.
