A nieghbor of ours is proof to show that calving later may actually be better which is why we are pushing out dates back. A month ago or so my dad hauled calves in for our neighbor, Charles. Charles calves in May, tshirt weather, nice weather. He doesn't have monster cows or monster bulls(bigger isn't always better), he doesn't use creep or minerals, and in December his steers averaged over 700 pounds. And his heifers around 600. They also looked good, they weren't shaggy and no froze off ears.
Some may disagree but his calves turn out good every year
