[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1329137, member: 5381"] I feel the same as Rafter. I want most of my calves in the Late Nov/ Dec period. I get them weaned and sold before the fall rush of calves drops the price. I have lots of Rye grass and the calves are eating good when the grass is high. Saying that I also have a small group that calves in March and a mid size group Fall group that calves in Sept. This gives me additional cash flow and gives the bulls something to do year round. As mentioned it also gives you some options with Heifers. I do my best to sell uniform groups of calves and having three calving periods allows me some leeway with the late calves. Your grass and where you market the calves should be the determining factor. [/QUOTE]
