Reading through several of the posts down the page I started to wonder why people calve when they do. I have heard people say many times that they have to calve in the winter for various reasons. Also, I know seed stock producers want a proper size bull for their clients breeding season.
I am not looking to change anyone's calving date, but I am just curious if many people have sat down and really thought through why they calve when they do or is it more of a tradition thing? Just curious when some of your calving seasons are.
We have changed our calving date mainly because of a desire to move it away from bad Spring weather. We start calving in April when most of the mud season is gone here. we used to calve in feb march, just because that's how the original herd was when we bought them.
Thanks, Jenna
