[QUOTE="anewcomer, post: 1651236, member: 18748"] Bird dog, thanks for your very comprehensive reply. My point in my last post was to help the original poster understand the nutrient requirements of the cow as she progresses through pregnancy, post partum and breeding. Your comments seem to indicate that your cows are declining in nutrition as they move through these phases. Without knowing your numbers, I would be surprised if your breed backs were not slower than you would like, resulting in calving intervals longer than 365 days and probably getting longer. I would expect your spring herd to be much better in these regards. You know these numbers, but I was trying to help Fred understand that timing your calving season to your grass growth is the most important thing in the cattle business. Would your fall herd perform better as a spring herd? [/QUOTE]
