[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1403745, member: 21194"] Both methods are valid, depending on the situation. Some people leave the bulls out all year, don't keep any records, and just go pick out the biggest calves to sell several times a year. I don't recommend that. I leave my bulls with the cows all year mostly because if I don't the neighbor's bull will break in and take care of things if any of my cows cycle while my bull isn't there. On the other hand, I do have a defined calving season. Any cows that can't keep up get sold, and I sell/wean all my calves once a year. Good luck, and I'm sorry about you losing your father. I don't know how long it's been, but if it's fairly recent I wanted to let you know it will get easier as time goes along. I lost mine 10 years ago. [/QUOTE]
