[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1736667, member: 38220"] Spring: March-April. Cows are A.I.'ed first week of June then kicked out to summer pastures located between 2 and 60 miles from the home place. Wean in September to early October depending on grass, weather, etc. and bring cows back home for the winter. Have considered going to May-June calving many times, but neighbors all kick out bulls June 1-10 and we would have to A.I. cows in August when they are scattered on three summer pastures, plus neighbor bulls messing up our breeding plans (we raise and sell Angus bulls). Would be nice to avoid the blizzards, but would be really difficult on other logistics. If we were pure commercial, I would strongly consider May-June calving, but then again would maybe just go to running grass yearlings and only have to deal with cattle from May to October. [/QUOTE]
