[QUOTE="Douglas, post: 744318, member: 8840"] What about a list of why someone would prefer fall calving, my thoughts: Calf prices are usually better in the spring. Maybe you have a lot of crop residue available for winter grazing. The further south you are the easier to utilizing winter annuals. Calving in dry weather and little mud in the fall. You have something else to do in the spring like planting row crops. Can use summer grass to make feeders into heavy stockers say 800 lbs. Share a bull/equipment with someone who calves in the spring Grow your operation buying others late spring calving cows. Cooler weather for the calves to grow. No flies edit: flies are probably worse at calving in the fall. [/QUOTE]
