[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1326843, member: 9096"] Heifers are done (only had 2), have 3 left to go.. next is a 9 year old, then a 12 year old, and finally a 5 year old.. No idea why the 9 year old fell behind, she is bagging up a little bit, so she might calf soon enough to be right caught up next year, if not, it's a trailer for her too.. the 12 year old is late through no fault of hers really.. couple years ago she had a bad habit of breaking fences, so she was out with the bull for the first few days of breeding season, I thought I saw her get bred, and funnelled her back into the corral to eat hay for the rest of the year, and it turns out she wasn't bred, and I didn't notice until much later... The 5 year old I think slipped her calf and got rebred late.. she's also on her last strike, but my deal with her is that she catches up good every year, and raise a nice calf.. she's been holding her end of the bargain, a month earlier every year, and despite being a bit thin from nursing over the winter on 'survival rations', she's been making really good calves that are thick and meaty.. Her steer born in July last year is around 800 lbs. Him, as well as a bunch of others are getting shipped out next tuesday. [/QUOTE]
