Breeding season has begun. The bulls have been turned in with the cows, and they are taking their job seriously. The season will end in mid October. That may seem like a tight window of opportunity, however it works for us and our stock. I believe that calving in May is a healthy start for a calf. Not too hot. Not too cold. Good grass for lactating momma cows.
This timing also works well for our weaning program. May calves are weaned, at ten months of age, in late March of the following year. Again, calf health and forage are a priority.
