Around here the term is she's bagged up; meaning she is about to have a calf or already has one. In this area the farmers breed to have the calfs in March or in the Fall with the majority being in the Spring. Spring calfs feed on pasture all Summer and then mostly sold in October/November when they will be around 650 lbs. The people that buy them, then take them to feed lots where they can't hardly move, grain them, feed them steriods, and inject them with antibiotics etc. This is what you buy at the market. Stupid huh.
Be a farmer; buy retail - sell wholesale.
