[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1801985, member: 42463"] That's exactly why I question spending time and money of a cow that fails to breed... Short term it may pencil out, but long term any calves from a cow that has trouble breeding may go into the herd and the factors that led to the problem may spread. This is also why I'm reluctant to keep replacements from first calf heifers. I want replacements from ten year old plus cows that have been reliable producers. The results over time speak for themselves. Last I heard the average calf crop was 87%. Using most stringent criteria for replacement can easily get 95%. [/QUOTE]
