[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1329107, member: 24816"] I see pros and cons to both. I prefer spring calving, for me that's February - March. The winter weather potential early on is a factor, and March can be cool and wet. The spring calves just seem to grow much better. For fall calving, it seems that calving is a little less management intense, as weather isn't an issue. My fall calves usually don't look quite as good or grow as good. After weaning, through yearling they tend to come out and look better, just takes them longer. [/QUOTE]
