[QUOTE="WalnutCrest, post: 1088617, member: 21715"] Do you want to continue calving twice a year? I'm not totally sure what you're asking. If you want to calve 2x / yr, pick two 60-ish day windows that work best for your forage and your other schedule (like harvesting row crops, etc.) ... then ... either have the bull with the ladies for two separate 60-day windows, preg check the cows/heifers and cull the opens ... OR ... pull/push individual animals into your target calving windows over a period of a few years. I'd probably cull the opens if it were me, but both approaches should work. Oh, and I agree with Jake ... get rid of the July/August calvers ASAP. Hold them out until the fall or sell them. [/QUOTE]
