[QUOTE="cmay, post: 1351005, member: 18295"] "Many of you say you have XXX years experience, but do you really? Maybe it was the same year repeated XXX times. Be honest, except for trying a different bull of a new fly spray or some such thing, was this year much different than last year or the year before that?" This question/statement also shows your lack of experience. The people with XXX years experience have never repeated the same year. The same year never occurs. Temperature is different, breed up is different, hay quality is different, moisture is different, grass quality is different. Experience leads a good cattleman to manage to the averages with some backup plans in place. You say you are just trying to learn, and then you make a statement like this - "Unless you have excellent quality stockpiled grass[color=#FF0000] there is no good reason to calve any other seasons but spring and fall[/color]." That's not you trying to learn. That's you trying to teach. And it's completely wrong. There are dozens of reasons to calve at different times. Raising cattle is an extremely diverse industry. You have already been told this - There is no single correct way to raise cattle. People have tried to explain things to you, but you remain dismissive if what they tell you doesn't fit in your box.
