Tablerock Ranch eastern Wa | PROS smaller calves at birth, warmer climate to calve in, less predation by a long way, longer daylight hours to check cows during long work days, grass calves to sell during spring, scours are a memory, CONS cows are out on summer pastures "mountain or remote pastures" during calving, higher feed needs in winter by 30%, subsidize harder on stalks, some cow work during spring field work. we have been fall calvers for five or so years now, LOVE IT but we do have to move young pairs more often now it seems, cows keep harder on stocks. |
Tell me about fall calving cows.
