[QUOTE="TC Cattle, post: 630421, member: 9459"] You don't have to agree with our management, that's okay. But, if you were to break down the numbers that you posted from your neighbor there, the ratio would be 1:21 essentially. So, perhaps there is some knowledge behind this. And apparently you leave your bull in year-round and calves are produced willy nilly, if at all. 98% has been the lowest conception rate we've had and we have a 30-60 day calving period for the entire herd. No wonder the poor thing's ding dong broke - that's a lot of work! I'm wondering about the coyote thing. You said earlier that you thought coyotes were getting the calves and then talked about this electric fence that stops them from entering the pasture. I think something else is going on here. A mountain lion drags its kill off, hides it and comes back for it later. If it was a mountain lion, you wouldn't see the calf there - but you would see tracks or drag marks. (In my experience.)
