[QUOTE="Midtenn, post: 1561548, member: 24781"] I've actually been thinking earlier. Spring calvers are about half finished right now. They get a bull from December 10 til march 1 just to clean up in case theres a straggler. That way I can move that cow to the fall herd or sell her as bred. So the bulls are with them right now. I usually pull the bulls out and bring them back mid-may to start breeding. But I'm thinking about just leaving them in this time. Some of the cows will move up to join the fall calvers by a couple of years. Some of course will always stay spring calvers regardless if bulls are put in early. Only downfall I see is those calves born between Christmas and February 1 which we try to avoid. Any pros and cons on this idea? [/QUOTE]
