[QUOTE="BC, post: 440821, member: 67"] One way to get a more uniform calf crop is to go to a fall calving season and a spring calving season. I noticed that you are in Louisiana. This should be fairly easy to accomplish as your winters are not that harsh. Mother nature will have the majority of your calves born in February and March. That is because the best pastures occurs in April, May and the first half of June when the cows are being bred. It reallly is a matter of better nutrition. If you go with just one season, be preapred to carry over open cows or to sell the open cows. Keep your replacement heifers from the first month of the calving season. They will be the ones that are bigger and growthier and have a beter chance of getting bred in the window you want. [/QUOTE]
