[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 716161, member: 7398"] Not to turn this into a spring vs fall debate but there is nothing so blessed as calving in September. The cows have good bloom, there's no mud, no rain, no barns, no surprise spring blizzards, tons of daylight, flies on the decline . . . and the bulls I sell are a good 18 months old when people need them and haven't been pushed to get there. Any steers are sold right off the farm to hungry stockers with plenty of pasture for some weaned calves to grow for cheap in their back yards before going on feed . . . and nobody else has them. It's just an unusual year . . . hay quality is off from too much and too little rain all at the right and wrong times. Never going back to spring calving - just need to get through this winter.
