[QUOTE="MOFarmer2013, post: 1216354, member: 21300"] I need some management advice on what the board would do in my situation. I bought 23 heifers last year. They all calved from March through August. The plan is get my whole herd on a 60 day spring calving window. I preg checked them in Dec and 10 were open. Most of the 10 that were open were the heifers that calved in July/August. I preg checked the 10 open cows again this week and 4 cows came back pregnant. I am going to ship off the 6 that are still open next week. My question is would you cull the 4 that are now pregnant. 2 of the 4 are some of the best looking out of the batch, but now they will calve in September. Would you guys ship them off as well? Or with the calf prices so high, let them stay for at least a year longer? Thanks [/QUOTE]
