[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 1468508, member: 31518"] As you point out, you have to consider how and when you market your cattle. You also have to consider the weather in your area. I am guessing the winters are pretty cold in Idaho. If you were in an area with mild winters and grass to feed in the winter, it would probably make sense to have cows calving in the fall. In some areas the summers are hot and dry also. I have read that June is the best month to sell cattle because it is the month with the least number of calves available. Most fall calves are sold by June. Most spring-born calves are too young to sell in June. If calves are born in the fall and sold in June, there may be better prices. [/QUOTE]
