[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 607172, member: 4353"] Are there any excuses for the cows to become in a condition where you don't think they'll breed back if the calves are left on them? As long as you can organise a rising plane of condition for the first 45 days after being bred conception rates won't be too badly affected by the cows being thin, unless they are at the point where survival mode kicked in and they aren't even cycling anymore. If this is achievable at all I'll tend to let the calves nurse a little longer, but either way get the calves started on creep feed and make sure there are no parasites eating away at the cows or calves for that matter.
