Hi Ana,
I was also convinced, as Umberto, that the birth season for cattle would
be late winter-spring. You may find a discussion by Dahl and Hjort (1976)
interesting, even though their study focused on African pastoralists. In
page 151 they say: So, contrary to the case in Sudan, calf births in
northern Nigeria are not concentrated to one season.
Best,
Aaron
