[QUOTE="BRG, post: 690437, member: 2397"] The majority of our cows do calve in May and June. That may not be summer but it is pretty much when mother nature does it around here. It works great. We only had about 1% death loss compared to the 7% or so for our Feb & March calving cows. The main trouble we have is come heifer marketing time. We are a Registered outfit and when we try to market replacement heifers, nearly no one else breeds that time of the year so no one really wants a June calf or a heifer bred for June. [/QUOTE]
