[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 368362, member: 2095"] I don't disagree with you. I am used to an Alabama climate. Calf in Feb or March while feeding hay, turn the new momas out on ryegrass and clover if you have it spring fescue if you don't. Cow are usually at their lightest in late April and then the grass gets ahead of them. Sericea Lespedeza, dallisgrass, timothy, bahiagrass starts coming up in the pastures in mid May to early June cutting the fescue toxicity effects. Unless there is a drought, Hereford/Angus/Char cross cows are usually in a weight gaining mode by mid June. As long as you still got grass in the pastures to rotate them to....MOST cows around here are in a ~4 or 5 BCS score (on the 9 scale) with a calf nursing them at the first of August. Taking them to 205 days or 240 days doesn't really hurt them here. We usually started selling loads of 600 lb calves in late September and kept it up every 2-3 weeks until we dumped the nonretained heifers with the cull cows in mid November. IF July got hot enough to burn up the pastures and August sets into drought, I have dumped the whole calf crop in the first week of August before. [/QUOTE]
