[QUOTE="GotMyHandsFull, post: 1206636, member: 23337"] With the exception of the three born in the last 10 days, should I sell all of the other calves regardless of age? Would this help in tightening future calving windows? To use a term I saw in another post on CT, these are "front pasture" cattle. They are healthy, fat and up to date on all meds. Most are brangus and the rest are baldies. They're eating barn-stored hay that tested at about 9.5% protein, so I'm supplementing with range meal (16% protein) free choice and corn gluten three times a week. I have noticed a few of them giving themselves creek bank facials, so I'm guessing I need to get them up and treat them for mites. In looking at my uncle's records, a few of these cows went 13-14 months between calves, but have never missed a "year." Should these be culled? I apologize for all of the questions. I've helped my uncle work cows since I was teenager, but this is the first time I'm having to make decisions on what to keep and what to sell. [/QUOTE]
