[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1670115, member: 14161"] Like this! We have never put replacements with main cow herd until they wean their first calf. They go to winter range together and then are sorted into a group with the coming twos for that winter. Grass time they go to cows ranges. We have had yearling heifers actually find their mom and suck again after being weaned and separated for seven months over winter. We also would love to calve a little later but I guess greed and wanting too many cows prevents having enough fenced grass to calve on and having predators checking a calving herd on range won’t happen either. It was suggested by the RFP folks to calve at peak grass. Doing that would sure create some bag problems in my thoughts. It would also be difficult to get a good breed back here in October when the quality of grass is waning. [/QUOTE]
