[QUOTE="Tommy Ruyle, post: 690125, member: 1448"] Does anyone have summer calves here in the mid-west? I've been thinking (that's usually a bad sign). If you look at the feed needs of a cow through the calf cycle, the highest need is in the last trimester. Why don't more guys calve in July so the best pasture (April-June) is when the cow needs it? I started this a couple years ago and kind'a like it. The calves are big enough to start foraging on their own by the time I turn them out on to the corn stalks (Oct-Nov) and the cow needs the least amount of energy after I wean the calves which is in Jan. I don't see the negative (yet). What's everyone else think????? [/QUOTE]
