[QUOTE="dimka1980, post: 1669823, member: 41492"] Looks like we are going to have a very good discussion here:) Ok, why leave females with cows? I have calving season in June, so by January bull calves are 7 months old AND they start trying to breed...so there is a need to remove them...is it make any sense on this one? On the other hand, winter and my plan is to have least amount of herds on the farm...so I remove bull calves and stockers in January and only starting in January I start having two herds, up until then only one herd Then comes April-May...I continue to manage two herds up until next step Then June-July I have calving season and also castrate the bull calves of last year at 12-14 months old So after castration is finished, I run AI and put all animals together after that with the clean up bulls...one large herd like that all the way until January I know that maybe I am missing something in this plan and would be grateful if you guys point me where:) [/QUOTE]
