[QUOTE="dirtfarmer1000, post: 1232317, member: 23685"] We are calving out 45 heifers this year, they get a 21 day breeding cycle, so since Feb 27 to March 12, we have had 42 calve. I have had to use the puller on 1 and chains for an easy pull on 3. Bred to Red Angus and Simmental bulls. All calves so far are alive, my biggest challenge is getting the heifers to take calves, right now I have 3 heifers running around with hobbles so calves can suck without getting kicked to hard. Best advice I can give is make sure the heifers are grown out and in good condition prior to calving and you pick clean shouldered heifer bulls. 45 heifers is an average year for us, but peanuts compared to this.
