Depends on local weather and your marketing style.
I have some spring and fall calve'n cows. I keep the bull put up 8 months a year, have calves in April/May and October/November. I don't like have'n calves in July and August when pastures are short and flys can be bad. I don't like have'n calves on muddy ground in Feb in a 34 degree rain. I direct market most of my calves in two groups a year. This gives me a group of 18 month old freezer calves in the late spring and fall.
Buddy of mine direct markets too but he takes off a group the first week of every month. He calves year round so that he has a trailer load of finished calves ready to come off feed every month.
Most folks around here have all their calves in a 6 to 8 week window every year, makes for one working/weaning a year and one big group to sell at one time.
In short, just like most every other question when it comes to cow the answer is "it depends."
