[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 824930, member: 9115"] I'd look for other problems to see why 100 cows, even with two two year old bulls, took a year to calve out. I calve nearly that many in just six weeks. AG has the best answer, certian number of days leave the bulls in, cull what is open. Either that or go to two seasons, that way the cow should not be more than six months behind. I keep what is not bred in spring, move to fall for breeding. Nothing moves from fall to spring calving, if not settled for the next fall, she goes. Never keep a heifer out of the fall herd, only out of a first heat out of the spring herd. You can kinda keep numbers up this way and you're herd fertility will increase fairly quickly. gs [/QUOTE]
