[QUOTE="ClinchValley86, post: 1809816, member: 38595"] I'm thinking 10 or 11 months needs to be the gold standard. If we can shave 2 months off the interval, that's an extra calf every 5 years. I do like calving during the growing season though. Don't want to calve in January/February ever again. While there was decent warm season growth last summer, fall growth was pretty much nothing. So they had pretty good nutrition through about December. Over winter they lost more condition than i am ok with, carrying calves plus crappy bought hay. I figured I'd have some opens or late doers. They do eat a lot of weeds though, maybe that helps. Red #31 looks terrible. Hopefully she will fatten up. Her momma was culled last year because she was a poor looker too. Other than color they are identical. [/QUOTE]
