[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 677826, member: 694"] Dead on about adjusting calving seasons to fit your enviroment, here late summer to fall is the best IMO. Cooler weather is just around the corner milk production is higher as well as growth in cooler weather. Hard to put pounds on anything that doesn't have Brimmer in it at a 100+ deg days. Draw back is you have to carry more hay to carry a wet cow and calf through the winter to sell in early spring. This is why I believe there is no such thing as to much hay. I can satisfy a cows needs on 3 pounds a day you still need 27 pounds of hay to fill her up. Bad hay beats an old tractor fan belt to chew on in the winter. In drought years I have baled pipeline rightaways pond dams have even baled water grass out of dryed up sloughs. No matter where you are the cow business runs on grass without it you have no business. Fellow ask me one time what is the best grass I said the kind that grows in my pasture with the least maintainence. [/QUOTE]
