[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1095226, member: 9267"] With a three month calving season, any cow that averages 13 months is gone in three years. It does, however, give cows that fluctuate between 14 and 10 month intervals a chance to live a long life. This is a common pattern for heavy milkers in my herd. I've been going with the condition that the cows get four chances (12 weeks) from the start of mating, but that any cow getting in calf in that last cycle is only going to stay in the herd if her performance is above average - so poorer cows are an automatic cull if they don't conceive in the first sixty days.
