[QUOTE="stockbub, post: 824818, member: 16209"] We have around 100 head of cattle. We thought that we would have had a tighter breeding season, but with our weather and other situations we are still waiting for cows to finishing calving. Oldest calves are 7 months and still 33 cows to calve. Some people have said that 100 cows were too many for two, two-year old Brangus bulls to breed and that is why it took so long to get everything bred. I bought a new hereford bull the other day. Right now, I have not seen anything riding so I assume everything is bred (I am still going to get some tested though). Because it has taken so long to get things bred, should I just turn the bulls out with them or wait for a while and try and get some closer to calving. I know that some of the cows that had calves are already re-bred. It just would have been very nice to have everything calving in a three month period. Also, I thought about having two calving season. This would give the bulls some time to rest. What do you guys think. Any suggestions? Bubba [/QUOTE]
