[QUOTE="Dap, post: 589026, member: 2517"] I just ended my fall calving herd and saved the best of them to move to spring. I held the best fall heifer calves over as replacements with my spring herd, as you are planning to do. I know that it costs in the short term to save those heifers, but we had good rain this year and grass was plentiful. I probably had the same problems as Knersie with 2 calving seasons. For me the fall calves were more profitable than the spring calves 1 out of 3 years on average. (That's just how it worked for me, I know it works the other way for some people). Plus, it will make management decisions easier as far as where to put cows, bulls, replacement heifers, weaned calves, etc... The down side is that I'll need an extra bull or 2. [/QUOTE]
