We just purchased our first herefords recently (have had steers in the past) and they should calve any time now. The guys we got them from hadn't vaccinated them EVER and had started breeding one of them at just under a year. (I'm not that pleased with these guys) This will be her second calf. The others seem fine and seem to have been bred at a decent age. This particular cow is quite small for her age and the calf looks like it'll be a huge one. I'm nervous about her carrying too long but I have pulled calves before and I can do it again if I must.
My question is just how long is it recommended we wait before breeding them again? The guys we got them from suggested we wait 2 months which is way too soon for me to be comfortable with it, espically for the one. We don't plan on breeding the young ones till they're at least 15 - 18 months old but we need to make a plan for these other ones.
Thanx.
