[QUOTE="JustSimmental, post: 894763, member: 14624"] I used to calve both spring and fall, but now I like fall calving because I live in the hot part of the country. In the fall, flies are minimal, conception rates are vastly improved, by grazing rye I can maintain a higher level of nutrition pre to post breeding, maintaining rye is less costly than fertilizing permanent pastures and since I have to feed some hay anyway regardless of when calving season was I could reduce the amount by having winter annuals. Calving in October / weaning mid-May / I place my calves on summer millet and am able to get at least 2.5 lbs ADG post-weaning until Sept 1. JS [/QUOTE]
