[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 870954, member: 16769"] :?: Some of you will think this is craziness, and I already know why you will. BUT, I have 3 cows open now (after getting rid of the Big Mammer Jammer). We AI. Prepping the cows will put us somewhere into Nov. to breed, with late summer calves. I don't want to do that. I want to keep the cows I've got, and hold off to breed in June/July for late Spring 2012 calves. Weather is a big consideration; and right now, our cows are way over-conditioned. The oldest is 6; the youngest is a 2 yr. heifer, and they are FAT. That would also buy us time to get the "right" cattle handling facility set up. The materials are here; the time/labor isn't going to happen that fast. We have those Angus X weanling heifers on board (March-April 2011) that we could also catch next year in June/July. I know I'm losing time doing that, but what I really need right now is to get calving season all in one sock, and some steers for butcher next year; and in any event, we'll have to buy those steers. :2cents: [/QUOTE]
