[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1651240, member: 5381"] <<Would your fall herd perform better as a spring herd?>> It might. Might not. I don't think it would unless we had a good moisture year. This place does not have very good grass and it starts playing out out mid-summer nutrition wise when the calves would need it most. Calves would probably wean out at a lighter weight and have to sell into the fall rush. Plus I would need another bull. I like having two herds that calve at different times to spread my weather and price risk. It also allows you to shift a cow to the other herd when necessary. Plus you can get double duty out of your bull(s). [/QUOTE]
