[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1629125, member: 9933"] Question for those of you that leave the bull with the herd year around. How do you prevent heifers getting bred too young? I remove the bull after only two months, so the oldest heifers should be under 5 months, but I've still had the occasional mishap. I give lute after weaning, but last year we still had a heifer that was not quite 13 months old have a calf. I would think there would be problems with dystocia in young heifers, when bulls are with the cows year around. We got real lucky last year, but that is not usually the case. Losing the calf and the cow, or an expensive C section is likely. [/QUOTE]
