[QUOTE="rgv, post: 153926, member: 1565"] Question - Alot of the experts preach 60-90 day calving season (Pulling the bull after 60-90 days of service). I have taken the position of leaving the bull in for breeding all summer and into the winter. The bull is pulled one month before calving season and kept up until June 1st. The cows are tracked on calving dates and the poor performers are culled by thier performance. Cows that are always late are culled - cows that come up open the next year are culled for sure. I realize you burn some feed costs - but year in & out I think that you will be dollars ahead even by getting a late calve even if you cull that cow for not keeping up with the herd. Whata think?
