Before estrus sync was around they would pull the calves off for 48 hours. The biofeedback would bring a bunch into heat. Biggest drawback is the scours a lot of the calves got after glutting all that milk afterwards. I doubt anyone does it much anymore.

We also do this when we are on a part of the ranch isn't too remote to have a set of corrals when we start breeding. It seems to tighten up the calving window and does work. Never had too much trouble with scours out of it but the calves are all vacc'ed for that already.
