[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1426582, member: 20580"] That is exactly why. We usually pull the bull a little sooner than we did last year. We don't like calving in May but usually leave the bull out till about a May15-20th at the latest calving date. If we have to reduce the number of females a late calving bred cow is going to bring you more than an open cow because someone out there will be OK with calving her later. One of our bull buyers doesn't even turn his bulls out till July 1 and I know there are some guys that won't even start calving till late April or May because they don't want to mess with calving the same time they are in the field planting or deal with the snow and mud in March or earlier. This cow in particular we didn't see the bull breed her so all we had was the vet's estimate on palpation at preg checking last fall which he had her at least a month earlier but obviously was wrong on his estimation. We've had cows in the past calve in early May that have breed back to calve as early as late March the following year so she will be given a chance to breed back up. [/QUOTE]
