[QUOTE="oscarsteve, post: 1567540, member: 23995"] I'm currently at 11 bulls and 13 heifers alive with 4 more to calve. However, I have also lost 2 heifers and 1 bull calf (so the real ratio is 12 to 15 I guess). I've had 2 sets of twins this season with one survivor from each set (dead twins not included in the ratio). Calving started Feb. 2. My cows are split between two different properties. One group (14 Mommas and 10 replacement heifers) are done calving and I vaccinated (50 injections), castrated 6 bulls, and put in 24 insecticide ear tags today. Trying to wait on the second group (18 Mommas and 4 replacement heifers) to finish calving before I work them. Hopefully, will be done within the next 2 weeks. Bulls go in April 15. [/QUOTE]
