[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1108038, member: 9267"] If you want a calf at the same time every year, breed her on the heat closest to twelve weeks after calving. Be prepared to repeat the breeding three weeks later if she hasn't got pregnant. Nine months from her breeding date is her due to calve date, so you would milk her every day from the day she calves until 7 - 8 weeks before she is due to calve again; this allows her udder time to dry down, rest, and beginning producing colostrum for the new calf. What you do with the calves? Depends how much land you've got. You can keep them, sell them, eat them, grow heifers into new milk cows if you want. If you choose to keep a bull calf castrate him early. They make great lawnmowers. [/QUOTE]
