[QUOTE="Jake, post: 1088215, member: 4"] Open cows aren't necessarily a bad thing. It all depends on how you market your cattle. If you hold every calf until a certain age no matter when they were born then those late calvers aren't costing you much other than a head ache. If you are selling all calves at the same time those late calvers are costing you a bunch of money as their production is so far below the others. Simplest fixes are cull the late calvers or pull the bulls so you don't calve in July/Aug and put them back in for a fall calving season. You are essentially pushing your late cows back instead of trying to move them forward which is always the easiest form of movement. [/QUOTE]
