[QUOTE="fourstates, post: 582998, member: 5918"] We calve all year long, with the bulk of the calves coming early spring. The worst time of year to calf, here, is late summer because of the heat and flies. I did not intentionally try to calf all year long, but over the years purchased bred heifers, and cows. They calved when they calved. I keep records on Cattlemax, so year round calving hasn't been a problem. If anything, leaving the bull in year round has shortened the CI to under a year. But in a perfect world, every calf would be born late September or October. I have not had the guts to hold off breeding to get them into sync. Now that my herd is growing, I will have a few calves born every month! [/QUOTE]
