Breeding Back

[SSTEELESHOT]

I was wondering what the ideal time frame to breed back cows after calving. Cows just calved a couple of weeks ago and I have the availability of a neighbors bull right now but I wasn't sure if it was too soon.

You may get some bred back in the next month but If it was me,I would pick the time I want the calves to hit the ground and put a bull in accordingly.

21 days after the calf is born, the cow can come in heat, although they don't always.

Ideal Time Frame is usually considered to be 8-11 weeks (56-77 days) after calving.
A cow breeding back before 35 days is unusual, but is certainly possible.

Around here when it happens in people the kids are called Irish Twins. :nod:

here the bull runs with the cows year round.but idealy you want a cow to breed back no later than 90 days giving you a 12 month calving interval.in less than 45 days we have calved out 35 cows and heifers give or take.theres been a few days where weve had from 2 to 6 calves a day.we are still calving cows and heifers out now.
