[QUOTE="Little Joe, post: 1744581, member: 39122"] I sold a couple of longhorn cows that I had left back in December to a guy that called looking for longhorn cows. I sold them as assumed bred and not preg checked. The 2 cows calved late March last year and bull was turned in Memorial day, so late May, as of now the cows still haven't calved. Even if he had just missed them cycling when I turned him in, he should've caught them next cycle and they should've calved by now. Bull was only in with 3 cows, bull and cows were in good condition and maintained good condition. Bull was shared with neighbor, has not had a BSE in 2 years. I didn't keep mineral out all the time because the horned cows would tear up the top and allow mineral to get wet, therefore it was put out when it could be utilized and not get wet. I don't have any of those mama cows left and sold my half of the bull and am not obligated in any way to assure those cows calve, just curious as to what all scenarios could cause that as to avoid it in the future. Better mineral program? Possible lazy bull? Will know more on the bull end soon because neighbor turned him back in with his cows in September. [/QUOTE]
