[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 440818, member: 4353"] Sorry, what I neglected to say was its only the first year that you carry open cows over to the next breeding season, after that all the open cows are culled as usual. This will neccesarily result in a few culls, but in reality very few good cows will only settle in the last two weeks of the breeding season. Those cows are typically those who would have been high on the cull list anyway because of the lack of the ability to maintain a satisfactory breeding condition or just being subfertile. the extra month in the beginning of the first season will give you more early born replacements to compensate for the higher than normal cull rate. There is certainly a cost involved, but for most of us with a variable fodder flow or other hardships mother nature bestowe on us, the advantages outweigh the initial lack of income for the first 6 months.
