[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1792539, member: 968"] I would never sell cattle that have been working for me and turn around and replace with unknowns. You say they may be due late March, early April. Well, your proposed breeding program is for Feb/March. With a 60 day calving period, you will have a few the last 45-60 days. You should not have any problem breeding early April's in your May/June breeding. They will be almost 30 days post calving at the START of your 60 day breeding. I do it all the time. I have a 60 day calving period. My last calf is usually 1st week in March, and I start breeding end of March for a 1-1 due date. I have been 100% AI for most of my years breeding, but now breed AI for 35 days and turn a bull out for 30 days (65 days). I would make sure you have a good mineral program or at least give a shot of Multimin 30 days prior to breeding. There are many on here that poo-poo a good mineral program, but I am a firm believer.
