[QUOTE="f4leggin, post: 520335, member: 5863"] The feed (ie: hay beyond gazing) requirement is probably the thing that concerns me the most - where I live, the cold is bad, but because of the pasture and drainage, mud isn't as big an issue, but flys definitely are a concern too. Demand for my calves, selling etc.. aren't a concern at this point - I only got one bull calf last year, am keeping all the heifers for now, so I'm not selling anything. My cows don't get moved, so that's not a concern at this point either. Last year, I stopped supplemental hay in May and had to start again in November. So, from strictly a hay standpoint, from what I read in the replies, the feb/march calving makes most sense because the calves requirement from their moms peaks around 4/5 months? Thanks - Jill [/QUOTE]
