[QUOTE="dph, post: 142789, member: 2112"] msscamp: I looked it up, you asked when the last calf was had, and I mentioned the 28th of May, according to what I recorded, only four cows calved between May 8th and May 28th. One of the four was one of our open ones. I would think you would have a stellar pregnancy rate, indicative of a long time selecting for good, reproductive heifers. I hope noboby gets ticked that I am "overposting" :oops: This is the second of two things I am really interested in learning more about in improving our herd. Truth be told, we started a 63 day calving cycle because it was the target numerous "experts" said to shoot for. And when I ask the vet about our pregnancy rate they say its about what one should expect and not to worry about what someone else claims their rate to be. When you look up benchmarks, often they mention you want the open rate less than 10% per cows exposed. We are there, but I know people are doing better, and I would like to know how. Maybe we are expecting to quick of a pay off. [/QUOTE]
