[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1469968, member: 1715"] Been there, done that, and it has been a humbling experience. Some things change over time. This spring I did not band three bull calves. Down to one now. We will see after weaning. Some small cow guys think you are overfeeding if you have less than 10% open. We have been 0 to 5 % open so obviously I don't agree. We leave the bulls in, cull a couple opens in the late fall (about 3% this year), and sell a couple late calvers in the spring (about 5% this year-- all old cows). Like a lot of things - - if you cull for late calving then the problem should go away. [/QUOTE]
