[QUOTE="bandit80, post: 518816, member: 7956"] There are pros and cons, main con being typically require more feed throughout the winter. Main pro being typically better weather as a whole for calving. I know some guys around me that "fall" calve in August/September, and then "spring" calve in Jan/Feb. Alot of people around me just calve in the spring, but there are a few that do both or strictly fall. I think in an ideal world, I would like to have spring and fall calvers. That way I can get better use out of my bulls. They can breed twice as many cows as they are now. If some herd expansion takes place for me, I will move to a spring and fall calving system. 18 month old bulls are really a pretty good idea. They can handle a few more cows their first year.
