It's most likely because, historically, all the cows were bred so that they calved in the spring. Thus, when a cow or heifer was close to calving, it was "coincidence" that it was spring time that the females were ready to give birth, thus the term "springer" was adopted.

What are feeder heifers?
Feeder cattle are young cattle (steers and heifers) that are carrying more weight or condition than stocker cattle and are ready to be put on a "hot" ration (or high-energy ration like grain) for finishing prior to slaughter. Quite often these cattle have started out as stockers or backgrounders and have been raised and fed on a high-forage-based ration to the point where they've grown enough and put on enough weight (in both fat and muscle; this is known as "condition") to be considered as feeder cattle. Feeder cattle are often between the 10 to 18 months, depending on the length of backgrounding/stockering phase they went through.
