I just started calving at a selected time in 2010. I set up to start calving in mid Oct. to wean everthing around mid June. My thinking was to sale in June and just have cows on pasture through the summer when it usually gets hot and drier here and to avoid summer calving by running a bull all year. I know I am having to feed a little more than if they calved in the spring though. Before I had cows at all stages at all times of the year running together though so feeding was harder. I think I might do better calving in the spring and not having to supplement hay in the winter or at least not much. I was wanting to hear what others thought the pros and cons of spring and fall calving were. Thanks
