[QUOTE="Phil A., post: 1191493, member: 22612"] Fall, Free bull power as I have them for spring herd any way. Better use pastures we graze many small lots and would need way more bull power to keep everyone going on spring. Much better weather to calve Fall takes much more feed. Must creep feed fall calves. Seems we are always breeding or calving so work never ends. 2 pay checks per year. We calve 2/3 our cows in Spring and 1/3 in fall. If we have all big pastures and easy to manage we probably would only Spring calve. However our situation makes it really hard to do that. I can find plenty of benefits and negatives to both. Right now we are in the middle of synching for fall embryo placement. Phil A. [/QUOTE]
