[QUOTE="Jessica06, post: 1344577, member: 5612"] I guess this is probably true for a lot of Texas, but there are quite a few people here that keep bulls out year round and never preg check. I always wonder exactly how much money they are leaving on the table by keeping cows that only have a calf every other year, or what about if a bull goes bad? Our grass is so rank in the winter that feeding hay is the norm, especially if the majority of standing forage is Bahia or Bermuda, so there is always going to be some cost to keep an open cow. If someone only has 15 cows by the house, I guess that's one thing, but when it's 50+? That adds up. I will say that most of the calls I get about investing in ultrasound are from people that have become dissatisfied with their vet, and don't want to blood test for one reason or another.. [/QUOTE]
