[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1332131, member: 12607"] Kell, It depends on what you call "Fall" calving. My idea and my wife's(she's the farm manager) are very different. Her 'Fall' season keeps moving forward... some of the 'Fall' cows calved starting about 22 July last year... yeah, I know she was shooting for Aug 1. I know what she's going for... ideally, cows need to be 3 months along in their lactation before we pull them in when pasture is gone, and start limit-feeding hay & DDG; that way they're past their peak nutritional drain. But... July... that's not 'fall' to me. In the past, we started breeding around Thanksgiving... but I think all the AI cows were bred before T'giving this fall... only the repeats or stragglers that were going to the bull bred after Thanksgiving.
