[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1729213, member: 32659"] I'm generally at 15 -18% open cows. This will include older cows that need to be sold and 3 yr olds that are just hard to breed back. It's always been like this me. For us feed cost, pasture spraying, and upkeep are no big deal because we pretty well know what those cost are and budget accordingly. It's the opens and death loss that I see as a problem. I've done a bunch of research and tried everything I know to do with no changes. I always read about what "should be" but never see it happen in real life. To me it's kinda like the Angus breeders that claim their bulls wean a 750# calf, in reality the static weaning weight is still 525#. I'd love to know a real world open percentage on a 90 day breeding season. [/QUOTE]
