[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1210797, member: 9267"] It's already too late to prevent negative impact. The dry spell is essential to allow the udder to rest and regenerate, as well as for laying down colostrum for the next calf. Get her separated right now and hope she calves a week or so late and you might be okay. I don't know about beef cows feeding just one calf, but I've known dairy cows to produce around 50% of their potential for a year because they haven't had a dry spell... hesitate to admit I had one of those not long ago, she'd been preg tested open but she calved within 12 months of her previous calving.
