What is everyone's target due date? For what shows?

[OKshorthorn]

With everyone having calving pictures coming up and others talking about being a month or two away and others not until April. What is your target due date every year? What shows are you thinking about when setting a date to calve?

My preference was always to have some calve every month.  Then you have whatever you need.  Seriously, it really dosen't matter if you are showing year around.  We usually started showing heifers at 5 months, and tried to keep them together until they were 2 years.    Steers would prospect at 5-6 months and finish at 17-18 months.
