[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 1284233, member: 1974"] I was watering the herd tonight and counting the fall calves. I saw a cow nursing a calf and thought, "what's the yearling heifer doing?!" Then I realized it was one of the late March calves. Another cow came along and tried to ride the calf. I was briefly upset the cow was riding because she should have been bred. Then the bull came along and was riding the calf not the cow! For spring calving I leave the bull in to breed for calves from Mar - July. Each year, some of the Sept calvers will move into July and then a month or two earlier each year. I planned on pulling the bull this weekend & booster vax the calves & wean. I guess I'll run the Mar & April heifers through for another shot to abort any that are bred. I'm not happy about that, but real pleased that the spring heifers have grown & developed that well with no creep. [/QUOTE]
