[QUOTE="Douglas, post: 799035, member: 8840"] My rational was to calve a month before spring green up(rye/ryegrass). So for me that was February. Calves don't pull down the cows much before they are 1 month old. Then when the calves start their growth, you have good grass which also gets the Cows in good condition before start of breeding in early May. The other idea was to have the calves ready to sell before the normal price drops in Mid Sept. It would be pretty traditional in the mid-south. You lose money if you don't stay on a 12 month schedule. Edit: depending on your breed, summer breeding can be a real problem in the south after May. Black angus not bred by June in my experience are often not bred till sept. [/QUOTE]
