[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 676569, member: 7509"] Didn't breed back quickly or not at all? I had a first calf heifer last year that had a great calf in the spring of 2008 but turned up open at preg check in Nov 2008 even though she'd been with the bull for several months. She was a really good looking cow related to the one in my avatar. In the end a great calf over 2 years is not such a great calf - more like half a calf per year. As difficult a decision as it was, she went to the processor in Dec. She switched places with a not-so-good-looking cow that was scheduled for the processor but did preg check positive. The smaller, less impressive, switched cow had a very nice calf this spring and was ultimately the right decision to keep vs feeding the other one for a year open. jmho. Jim [/QUOTE]
