[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14621"] Keeping her would depend on how much expendable time and feed you have to try and wait another year. My limited experience has shown me that most of my cows will start cycling 21 days after the birth of the calf. Start watching on day 20... some are a little longer, and depending on the difficulty of the birth, highly likely... but I always figure 20 day intervals and keep watching until I see the standing heat. Most breeders wait until the second heat to breed back... I am a bit long on my herd, which will probably create some problems down the line. My dad has had a number of cows lose a calf at birth...and never again. [email=Sailor_One@hotmail.com]Sailor_One@hotmail.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
