[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 927593, member: 6198"] Here it is a matter of feed and the amount needing to feed, plus the combination of the grass avaialble and our cold winters. Calving in early spring gets us away from the late spring mud. Grass in May June seem to coincide with heavier milking when the calf can handle it more so. That and spring work and summer work make calving more difficult. Seeding land, fencing, getting machinery ready and honey bees take precedence over any cows calving in the summer. We like to be finished by the end of April, this year it was mid may [/QUOTE]
