[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1507152, member: 24565"] "Why did you need different cows to move the calving date back?" If lack of adaptation to heat or fescue caused the shift from spring to fall then the same genetics will not go back and stabilize into a spring calving herd. That is the reason folks put up with fall calving in this area: the cows cannot hang into a decent length of calving season in the spring. To prevent selling a younger decent cow, the cows get a reprieve and are exposed for fall calving. [/QUOTE]
