[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1421998, member: 968"] I do both. I live in upstate NY, so I also feed 6 months. You are going to have to feed the cows thru winter no matter what, but they will need a little extra. I don't grain them, but I keep them separate from the spring calving dry cows. They all get the same hay. You can wean in May and sell in spring/early summer. For me, it is a great market for show calves. Tougher to keep one a bull and market for me because I don't keep bulls around. They get sold prior to or shortly after weaning or get cut. You could breed for 30 days for spring calving, before your friend, then clean up the rest for fall. [/QUOTE]
