[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1160530, member: 12607"] We have both. 'Fall' herd has twice as many cows as the 'Spring' herd. Fewer issues with calf survival with the fall-borns, but it's tougher on the cows going through the winter nursing a calf. Farm manager is looking at moving the fall group forward(or back, depending on your perspective) to June calving - but that may take a couple of years to every one of 'em moved up. Spring herd begins calving March 1 - most years not a problem, but they all came during snow/ice this past winter. Fall herd started calving over a week ago... somehow, I have a hard time considering late July to be 'Fall', but that's how she bred 'em last year. [/QUOTE]
