[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 297497, member: 245"] Yep, its almost 30%, but on the upside, at least I only had 22 cows. The vet was telling me that he was at a guys place the other day who had 65 head and 26 of them were open and some bigger guys around here with 200-300 head are averaging @ 18% open. Unlike me, those guys are counting on this for their bread and butter. Of course, I've had a few hours to get over the initial shock and spent some time rationalizing about it and decided that maybe the cows that were open just weren't very good cows anyway, being that they didn't catch when the rest of my cows did. Not only that, but this gives me a really good opportunity to go out and buy some nice, shiny, new bred cows. How's that for finding the silver lining in the cloud? [/QUOTE]
