[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 696738, member: 1715"] I am pretty new to the cow/calf side. I started buying a few at a time last November. Now I have 38 pairs and two freezers full of hamburger. A couple first calvers show some rib, the shorthorn cross cows are fat, and the rest are just right. They are bred to start calving on May 10th. The traditional fall run here is mid October to mid November. We had some rain this summer, the yearlings are long gone, and I am gong to try swath grazing on one field, so I think I can graze well into December while providing a little alfalfa/grass hay supplement. Is there any reason a person should not just leave the calves onto the cows into December for cheap gain? [/QUOTE]
