[QUOTE="Douglas, post: 650233, member: 8840"] My cows talk to me all the time. I know exact what they want. More food usually, course the bulls don't have to say much to get their meaning across. I have been trying to shorten up my calving season the last couple of years. My calves started coming earlier and earlier until i was having calves in early January. That year i had two calves around new years and moved the Bull a month or so later but they were already rebread, hence my current dilema. Do i need to do anything special with this 17 month old cow now that she has had a calf except try to get her well fed to rebreed next month? Edit: Edit to mention that i appreciate all your input here Dun. I especially like your ideas about containing costs. If we did everything recommended by the experts we would be in the same situation as Detroit. I have done little over the years on the health side besides minerals and worming replacement heifers, and have only lost 1 calf out of 90 or so in the last 4 four years and that was do to drowning. but hay and fertilizer is killing me.
