[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 782050, member: 3162"] Markets in the spring seem to be the best prices. If you can calve them to where you sell in a spring market, you fetch the most nickels. That is my opinion. That said, I calve mine year round. It is a farily mild season here and I can plant some winter forage to rotate them on and off of. You'll hear a bunch of negatives from folks on this board about not having a calving season, and that's okay too. It is all I can do to keep my heifers from getting bred too young by a neighbor's angus bull. Better to breed them to what I want them bred to. I've got some cows calving every 10 1/2 to 11 months and holding their own wonderfully. Buy low and sell high has always been the best advice anyone gave me. Lately I have been able to hold out selling until the market is good. [/QUOTE]
