[QUOTE="Dusty Britches, post: 1792220, member: 1900"] I'm moving my breeding season to May - June so calve in late February through March. I have several heavies that are due to calve late March early April and I'm concerned they might miss the breeding season. Is there anything I can do to help them get bred this year or should I sell them as heavies and replace with opens? I guess I could keep them and if they come up open sell them with their calves? Part of my wanting to keep them is they are heavy bred and a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. So, 3 options: 1. Keep and help them get bred. 2. Sell as heavies now and replace with opens that will be ready to breed in May. 3. Keep and see if they get bred, if not sell in the fall. [/QUOTE]
