[QUOTE="triple'S', post: 376339, member: 2934"] i usually leave the bulls in for 60 days. But, i have been thinking about that lately and it doesn't make much sense. If i take the bull out after 60 days, and a cow doesn't breed then she goes to the sale. I don't preg test, so this means as soon as I see her in heat she goes, or I have to wait till calving season to find out. Then I take a open cow to the sale which brings open cow price. But if I left my bulls in say 9 months, I could still set aside a day to put them in. So I would still have a calving season because he would breed as many as he could their first cycle, and then get the rest the next cycle. So after the first 60 days of calving season, I sell all the cows that haven't calved. Some of the cows that would have been open if I would have taken the bulls out at 60 days are now bred and will bring a better price at the sale. what do ya'll think of that? Be honest, I haven't decided to do it yet. [/QUOTE]
