[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1318304, member: 1715"] Good tips. - We have improved pasture and calve the cows on grass in May/June. Ninety percent get fat in the summer and I am slowly selling off the hard keepers. - Calving the F1 heifers extra early would mean I have to corral them all and feed them separately. So they would be getting alfalfa mix hay and a couple quarts of oats per day to help make it work. I just resorted the open heifers and have 19 left after selling off the three biggest and the unattractive two. - Most folks here calve earlier, so purchased females often calve before my home breds. First calf this year came on St. Paddy's day at about 25 F in an open front shed. Starting calving now would mean the heifers are 6 weeks ahead of the cow herd. [/QUOTE]
