[QUOTE="Post Oak, post: 1456428, member: 19827"] A few years I was at a point (2012?)when my cows were calving from August to October. I had to make a decision about wether to stay there and fall calve or leave my bull in year around and move them back to spring calving over a few years. Well several years later I have the results of leaving my bull in year round to try to move them over "the hump" (summer). The cows with Brahman influence are spring calving now and the straight Angus and Herefords have stalled out in July because they won't concieve until it gets cool in October. I wouldn't calve in August/September in my part of the world unless I had Brahman influenced cows coupled with plenty of stockpiled fescue and/or winter annual pastures. A cow standing beside a hay ring eating hay with a calf nursing her makes no sense to me. [/QUOTE]
