[QUOTE="Jessica06, post: 1365199, member: 5612"] We put liquid out for our fall calving cows usually around the time we put bulls out, but it really depends on what kind of body condition they are in. Really, what helps us the most is matching our calving seasons to the grass, having short seasons, and weaning our spring calves early enough that the cows have a few months to catch up before the first freeze. We calve in the spring starting in late January for 75 days. In the fall it's late August for 75 days. The fall cows calve at about a BCS 6-7 and keep enough condition by the time the bull goes out that it is usually a circus for the first 2 heat cycles. The spring cows always calve thinner, but the grass is pretty lush when the bulls go out in April. [/QUOTE]
