[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1160354, member: 14661"] I'm a fall calver only. I time it about forty five days before my grass gets strong(which usually happens in mid November) so that my cows are making a bunch of milk when the calf is old enough to use it and the grass is good enough to support it. If I tried to spring calve here I'd either have to wean them at two months old or have a bunch of dead cows by July. When I ran just a small registered herd here on the valley floor on irrigated pasture that was dead over winter and green all summer, I did the exact opposite and calved in the early spring. [/QUOTE]
