[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 530670, member: 13"] We calve in Jan/Feb because of bull tests, sales, etc. But when we had commercial cattle, it seemed those summer born calves (July-Aug) just didn't do as well as calves born earlier in the year. Our calves started grazing alongside momma pretty young and I felt like the summer born calves didn't get the benefit of spring grass to get them started. There was enough grass, but the quality started dropping off in the heat. Maybe the bull is related to the cows and he didn't want to use him? But unless you can get comfortable with why they didn't get bred back, you might do better to keep looking. [/QUOTE]
