[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1736117, member: 38038"] it depends a lot on the Body Condition Score of the heifers before they calf. several other factors like feed quality after calving, did they have trouble calving, weather conditions, age at calving, and others. if you don't mind the longer calving season next year, let the bull in for an extra 30 days but realize that it is generally hard to catch them up with the rest of the herd once they fall behind. It is suggested to calf your heifers 30 days before the cows start to calf to help them breed back with the cows the following season. [/QUOTE]
