I was recently given about 45 cows, 20 calves of various ages and one registered Limousine bull from a relative who had grown too old to care for them. However, for the last couple of years, the bull has stayed with the cattle year round, which means I have calves dropping throughout the year. Three were born last week. What would it take to re-establish some sort of program where the majority of calves were born in a 60 or 90-day period, and would this mean that some cows would go more than a year without calving? One local cattleman told me not to worry about it, and said to leave it as is, and just enjoy having my income spread out over the year since I'm sending calves to the sale barn every three to four months right now. Any advice would be appreciated.
