[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 676336, member: 7509"] I think this goes back to the thread somewhere here about "why have a calving season". Rather than "time between calves" I would look at breed-back. Is a cow, even first calf heifer, in heat and ready to breed (bull-in) no more than 60 days or so after having a calf. 283 days gestation + 60 days = 343 days + about 22 days in case we just miss a heat = a calf 365 days after having this year's calf. Any less and your calving slides back every year. I want the option to advance my calving if I want to and as I did this year. Summary: she better be ready to go in 60 days after having a calf or she goes on the trailer at some point. jmho. Jim [/QUOTE]
