[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1846297, member: 40587"] So far, the January and February calves for the Corriente herd have run about 50/50 . A good many March calves have already been born, We will see what they are when we work them end of March. Through out the years about a 60/40 , either way, has been the max on sex variation. This will be our first herd in 20 or more years that we didn't have all calving in February. It is kinda gonna be a bust this year. The dude we had sold them to used ONE Angus bull on the 100+ cows, and he was obviously not pure Angus. Got a few off colored calves, and even a scur or two. When we sold him the herd in 22, they had weaned 100+ black polled calves in August, and had 100+ black polled calves Feb 23. Actually,. Scott and I are ok with this 4-5 month calving window he let them deteriorate to. It does us no good to have 100 calves top carry to the sale at the same time. And it is a lot of work for us 2 old cripples. It won't be so bad getting up 20-25 each month to carry to the sale. We had 19 January calves, and 25 Feb calves, and it looked like this Sunday there were already that many March calves, and we were just half way through the month. . [/QUOTE]
