[QUOTE="RanchManager, post: 600356, member: 8827"] You would know by the calves birth day compared to the days you exchanged the bulls. There will be a few born in the middle that could go either way, but the majority on each side of the breeding season is pretty much a sure thing. If you have to be sure and want to avoid the possibility of overlapping conception, then pull the first bull, wait 4 -5 days then turn in the new bull. First bull pull date plus 285 days plus your 4 -5 days. Anything born after that was sired by the second bull. For us it is not worth the 4 -5 days wait and the possibility of missing a few cows cycle. It's not a registered herd and if we are not 100% sure on a few calves it is no big deal. We typically find that the large majority are born within the time frame of the first bull, we have a period of no calves and then the late, stragglers, are born of the second bull. [/QUOTE]
