[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 647691, member: 7645"] This is why I hate fall calving. It always LOOKS good when you put a pencil to it; but in practice you end up with boss cows knocking 220 pound calves out of a hay ring ten times daily when a spring calving guy has that same age calf grazing his full in 24 inch tall grass. If your cow are dry from October to February (if you fed anything at all) they are fat and sassy and you look like you are a feed salesman or an animal nutritionist. Sixty days later it is April and the cows are in that spring grass gaining towards rebreeding. Those spring calves will be eating all they can eat till the end of July or later. [/QUOTE]
