“When should I calve?”
Spring vs Fall calving
![Page 35: Southwest Research Center Pasture-Based Seasonal Dairy Joint effort of MU, allied industries and commercial producers](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d585503460f94a37cf1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Fall calving
Advantages: Milk prices historically higher
![Page 36: Southwest Research Center Pasture-Based Seasonal Dairy Joint effort of MU, allied industries and commercial producers](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d585503460f94a37cf1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Fall calving
Advantages: Milk prices historically higher Cows dry during hot summer months (also when kids out of school)
![Page 37: Southwest Research Center Pasture-Based Seasonal Dairy Joint effort of MU, allied industries and commercial producers](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d585503460f94a37cf1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Fall calving
Advantages: Milk prices historically higher Cows dry during hot summer months (also when kids out of school) Breeding during cooler weather
![Page 38: Southwest Research Center Pasture-Based Seasonal Dairy Joint effort of MU, allied industries and commercial producers](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d585503460f94a37cf1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Fall calving
Disadvantages: Cow’s nutritional requirements are highest at time when forage availability and quality is at its lowest
![Page 39: Southwest Research Center Pasture-Based Seasonal Dairy Joint effort of MU, allied industries and commercial producers](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d585503460f94a37cf1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Fall calving
Disadvantages: Cow’s nutritional requirements are highest at time when forage availability and quality is at its lowest Milking through coldest months
![Page 40: Southwest Research Center Pasture-Based Seasonal Dairy Joint effort of MU, allied industries and commercial producers](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d585503460f94a37cf1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Spring calving
Advantages: Peak forage availability and quality coincides with peak milk production and nutritional requirements
![Page 41: Southwest Research Center Pasture-Based Seasonal Dairy Joint effort of MU, allied industries and commercial producers](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d585503460f94a37cf1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Spring calving
Advantages: Peak forage availability and quality coincides with peak milk production and nutritional requirements Cows are dry when forage is low
![Page 42: Southwest Research Center Pasture-Based Seasonal Dairy Joint effort of MU, allied industries and commercial producers](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d585503460f94a37cf1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Spring calving
Advantages: Peak forage availability and quality coincides with peak milk production and nutritional requirements Cows are dry when forage is low Not milking during coldest months

Spring calving
Advantages: Peak forage availability and quality coincides with peak milk production and nutritional requirements Cows are dry when forage is low Not milking during coldest months Can have Christmas and New Years off, take a winter vacation to warmer climates

Spring calving
Disadvantages: Breeding as weather starts to turn hot
![Page 46: Southwest Research Center Pasture-Based Seasonal Dairy Joint effort of MU, allied industries and commercial producers](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d585503460f94a37cf1/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Spring calving
Disadvantages: Breeding as weather starts to turn hot Lower milk price in spring

“But what will happen to ournation’s milk supply if everyone
goes seasonal?”
![Page 48: Southwest Research Center Pasture-Based Seasonal Dairy Joint effort of MU, allied industries and commercial producers](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d585503460f94a37cf1/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
“But what will happen to ournation’s milk supply if everyone
goes seasonal?”
Beef is seasonalNot everyone who goes seasonal will choose the same season
![Page 49: Southwest Research Center Pasture-Based Seasonal Dairy Joint effort of MU, allied industries and commercial producers](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d585503460f94a37cf1/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Two critical factors:
Financial planning declining milk check after peak, then NO milk check for 2 months some lenders are willing to pro-rate payments based on milk check
Must get cows bred in “window”
