[QUOTE="bullred, post: 144591, member: 1733"] First, thanks to all for the responses. Cypress, the program I have in mind sounds very similar to what you are doing with the limited breeding season. This is what I’m planning on doing. Please…comments from anyone are welcome: Current situation is 25 bred (well 24 are bred, one had a calf last week) F1 tigerstripes. All should be calved out by Feb. Planning on working all cows and calves around 1-Mar-06. All the calves will get parasite control (Dectomax injection), 4-way respiratory shot (Bovi-Shield 4), and 7-way (One Shot Ultra 7). I will not castrate any bull calves from this year’s crop (more on that later). I’ll also vaccinate all cows for Vibro/Lepto (PregGuard 9), clostridial disease (UltraChoice 8), and worm with Dectomax injection. 20-Mar-06 I’ll turn the bull in with them for 63 days. Mid-September I’ll gather all the cows and calves again. At this time the “shortest” bred cow should be at least 4 months along, so I’ll pregnancy check and cull any open cows. Parasite control (probably a pour on this time) all bred cows. Cut out all the calves and immediately ship them to the sale barn with any open cows. As I don’t know anything about the bulls that bred these cows (I bought them all bred), and I also want to get some revenue coming in a little quicker. I’m just going to ship the current calves at weaning. The following year will be a little different because in the fall I may separate the calves and precondition them for 45 days along the lines of the VAC 45 program. Again, any comments about this plan are greatly appreciated. CJ [/QUOTE]
