[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1565185, member: 25884"] Have had the odd heifer wind up pregnant while still nursing the cow, but they were about 17 months when they calved. That is one very good thing about a defined calving season. The bull is only in for 60-90 days when the calves are less than 4 months old, so next to no chance of a heifer getting bred. Good luck with the rest of the bred heifers. Let us know how you make out with them. If they do okay, be grateful for an easy calving bull that sired those calves. Feed the real good once the calves are on the ground. They might be a little stunted in growth. I held mine back an extra 6 months before rebreeding, so they could grow a little bit more, but they have calved every year since then. [/QUOTE]
