[QUOTE="jcarkie, post: 824861, member: 20"] if you want them in a 90 day period you have to decide when. feb1 -may 1 put the bull in april 25th - july 25th get a gestation table and figure when you want to calve. 2 seasons would be more effective for you now that they are so spread out. also you need fewer bulls because each bull needs 25-30 cows, or you need 4 bulls for 100 cows, the shorter the season the more bulls you need. we started in 06 with cows that calved year round and we picked 2 seasons Feb - april and sept - nov. it takes a few years to get them in the narrowed seasons. we pulled our bulls mar 1st put them back in may 1st pulled tham july 15 put them in nov 25th pulled them feb 15th etc till we had them in the shorter seasons. now we are trying to go all fall so we put them in on thanksgiving friday and pull them july 1st. next we will pull them in june etc till we get them where we want.
