[QUOTE="jyarbrough, post: 929692, member: 17401"] Last spring I purchased 30 heifers with due dates around last November. This is my first experience with heifers and I successfully had 27 of them to have calves in late November and December. The cows have been on decent pasture, water, minerals, and vaccinated. The bull broke free the first week of January and entered the pasture with the cows, so I left him in there. I got a vet to come yesterday to check to see if the three cows that did not have a calf last winter were bred. They were indeed bred and we checked a large portion of the herd and identified that only about 75% of the herd were bred. Well the neighbor farmers told me that that is common for them off of first calf heifers, with some taking almost a year before they are bred back. Is this true, or could I have bull problems. Cows are black angus mix and the bull is a 7 year old pure angus. Thanks for replies. [/QUOTE]
