[QUOTE="novaman, post: 805906, member: 2744"] It sounds like you have some good genetics there. Must have some calving ease there as well. It seems if a cow can have a calf easily she will recover to rebreed much quicker. If we all calved year round it is likely we would find at least a few in every herd that would move up just like you are seeing. It sounds great getting 6 calves in the span of 54 months. I still see a problem with marketing those cattle though. I think it would be nearly impossible to get a group of calves that would be consistent enough to sell as a group. I would be interested in seeing some solid numbers that would make these 6 calves worth more than 4 calves in a set calving season. I just have to think that you will be taking significantly less money per head by selling in small group or even individually. If you retain them for any amount of time to make a group you would have added expense in feed,etc. Just my thoughts. Maybe some of you can make it work. [/QUOTE]
