[QUOTE="LocustDaleCattleCompany, post: 1736933, member: 24074"] We Spring and Fall calve on our farm. My major complaint with Springs herds is lower conception rate than the Fall herds. We are always 97-100% on Fall herds and 85-92% on our Springs. Our black bulls don’t love that hot weather in the summers along with fescue pastures. We are going to start an A.I program this year with our Spring herds to try and get down to a 45 date season. Trying something different. Don’t love the weather we can have in February when we start Spring calving but this past February was awesome to calve in. Our Spring calves always look better to me than our Fall calves but that’s just my opinions. They both market well for us. Keeping dry Spring calvers on stock pile and little hay most of the winter is nice compared to wet Fall calvers. [/QUOTE]
