Ep 230: Rethinking Your Calving Window

When’s the right time to calve — and what’s it really costing you? Dr. Bob Larson with Kansas State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine joins us to talk through five key questions every rancher should ask when setting their calving window. From matching forage and labor to feed efficiency, to tightening up that calving period and improving breed-up rates — we dig into how timing affects everything from profitability to cow performance. Because in the end, it’s not just about raising calves… it’s about managing cows, costs, and profitability. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #Allflex #Neogen #IngentyBeef #TankToad #WorkingRanchRadio #BeefCattle #CowCalf #CalvingSeason #CattleManagement #Cattlemen #Livestock #BeefProduction #ForageManagement #RanchProfitability #DrBobLarson #KansasStateUniversity #RanchEconomics #CattleHealth #Ranchers #AgPodcast #RuralAmerica
