[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 507715, member: 852"] Dairies calve all year round, and therefore I breed my dairy heifers whenever they're ready. The beef guys... all I've ever understood is that by calving in February/March, the calves are ready to wean and sell in October when the cows come off the range. The goal is always to have the calves big enough to work and brand before they get thrown out to the summer pasture, and as we have a short summer and 9 months of "winter," it just isn't economical or sensible for them to calve in April/May out here.
