[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 692900, member: 539"] I wouldn't for 2 reasons. 1) A cow that has calved will come back into heat approximately 21 days following calving, and she can settle at that time. To expect her to support a very young nursing calf, as well as a developing calf is a heavy burden to place on her - especially if your calving season is due to commence soon. 2) To put the bull in with calving cows is going to put your calving season all over the map. Personally, I really dislike year-round calving because it is labor intensive, and you end up with a bunch of calves of widely varying ages and weights. Depending on your location, that can really hurt you come time to sell your steers. I don't believe I would worry about marauding foxes, the chances of a fox being able to take down a calf are not real high. [/QUOTE]
