[QUOTE="bmoore87, post: 1090168, member: 21684"] Walnut Crest I was looking at splitting into spring and fall herds. I am thinking starting with an 80-90 day spring and maybe 70 fall window to start with and then tightening those up over the next few years down to around 60 days. From what has been said it sounds like pushing back will be the best instead of trying to pull ahead into spring like we were. Jake we do split the calves into two different groups based on age which are then sold together. We have been fortunate in that the guy dad has sold to for the past 7 years doesn't mind the variation is size as much as most and usually only has us hold out a couple for size so that is not as much of an issue. However we have had some issues with weaning calves that are 200- 300 in with 500 pounders and trying to get them on similar rations, etc. Thanks for the help. [/QUOTE]
