[QUOTE="dun, post: 517504, member: 34"] Calve march to mid april. Work the cows and calves in mid to late april. Start breeding late may. Wean the calves in october or november, hichever is handiest. Fenceline wean, after the third day move the cowsto the back pastures. Precondition the calves for 30-45 days. Most go to a backgrounder for comingling and sold in potloads to feed lots. A few we'll keep as replacements and when the others leave the replacements go back to the cow herd for the winter. The few that aren;t kept for replacements or sent to the backgrounder we'll keep around till spring then haul to the salebarn or sell private treaty. Calves range from 6-7 weights when they're sold.
