[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 929662, member: 5381"] In my opinion, calving spring and summer is the way to go. For one thing you can get more use from your bull and keep him interested instead of going through the fence. But you have to move him. Your good fall calves will bring good money in the spring. Your good Spring calves will bring average as there is a lot more competition but the price is a little higher than in the fall in most years. But I think the real benefit is when you have a good cow miss her breeding. Maybe its her fault, maybe it yours or the weather. If you have two calving periods you can slip her into the other group. This keeps you from culling a good cow and only cost you six months of non-productivity. Some of my best heifers missed the first go round. I have to much invested in them to give up that easy. Move them them into the next group.and give them a second chance. bird dog [/QUOTE]
