Dr. Funston will discuss the importance of having a high percentage of beef calves born early in “your” calving season, whenever that is. This event, coupled with overall reproductive rate, is a major economic driver in cow / calf operations and has a profound impact on the profitability of any beef cattle operation. Many producers do not have the capital to increase land resources. Learn how calving distribution can impact output from any ranch operation and factors that influence when cows and heifers conceive during the breeding season.
