[QUOTE="JWBrahman, post: 1189064, member: 18439"] That is exactly what happens with my pasture. Late October thru early November the white clover and rye grass start growing and everything is thick and green by January 1. We have more consistent precipitation in the fall and winter, also. There is some data that says a pure Brahman fall calf will not grow as well as a spring calf. But with the late maturity issues there isn't really a problem with Brahman conceiving before they reach an ideal weight. Brahman are not going to get pregnant before 20 months. Some of the heavy milking Gyr bloodlines will not reach sexual maturity until they are almost 3 years old. [/QUOTE]
