[/I]Once a cow is in the herd never keep a calf from her again if she calves in 2nd 30 days of calving cycle, but keep cow. (If she repeats, sell!) 3.

(I like a bull from an old cow) The best so far is 8 calves in a row from a cow born in the 1st 30 days . Others will if I last long enough! Cows are in condition 5 when calving. First calf heifers are more prone to wash out. None last 5 years... [/QUOTE]
