[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 236686, member: 852"] I might rely on my own bumping skills to tell if a supposedly-heavy-bred cow IS bred, but I wouldn't rely on [i]anyone's [/i]bumping skills to tell if a cow is NOT bred. :lol: I can usually find a calf around 160-180 days, but there's been big framed cows I can't bump even at 220 days. If your cow has been running with a bull since December the most she'd be is about 180-210 days bred. Should be enough to bump a calf, but if she didn't settle first or second service she may be still too short-bred to bump that calf. [/QUOTE]
