“…Cows bred for 30 or 45 d had less longevity in the herd than cows bred for 70 d, which is a further disadvantage. Bagley et al (1987) compared spring and fall calving in Louisiana and found that the fallcalving herd had a higher weaning rate and heavier calf weaning weights, resulting in higher cow productivity and higher monetary returns.…”

“…There was a non-significant trend towards higher pregnancy, calving and weaning rates in the late over early-calving DS cows. Bagley et al (1987) using Angus and Hereford x Angus cows in Louisiana, found similar conception rates in two calving season groups when data were averaged over a 5-yr period. Similar observations were reported by Lesmeister et al (1973) who found no significant difference in percent calf survival from birth to weaning between early (87%) and late-calving (100%) treatments at one location, but percent calf survival was significantly higher for early calves at a second location.…”

“…There is limited information on the effects of the month of calving on cow productivity (Bellido et al 1981;Bagley et al 1987). Therefore, a 3-yr study was undertaken to compare effects of early (April) and late (May/June) calving under range conditions in east-central Alberta.…”

“…Pregnancy rates as well as the lactating and weaning rates across three different grazing strategies are assumed the same as the average corresponding rates described previously in this section. This assumption is based on previous literature findings, which reported no differences in pregnancy rate for cows associated with different stocking-rate treatments [17][18][19][20], cows maintained on continuous grazing and variable rotational grazing treatments [21,22], and cows under continuous and rotational stocking at identical stocking rates [23,24].…”
