[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 895031, member: 8192"] I don't know if this has been discussed on the boards before but I can't find reference to it. I read in an American magazine (maybe Western Horseman, not sure) about a method whereby calves about two months old are withheld from their mothers for forty eight hours or so to cause the cows to come on heat and be re-bred within a short timeframe. You need to yard the calves, keeping them on good hay and water, the cows can come up to the calves but not feed them. Has anyone any experience of this? Just curious. [/QUOTE]
