[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1843461, member: 14161"] Neighbors are happy when all their heifers are bred…… in 90 days. Those that don't want to live here on our feeding program weed themselves out early. Best when they are young and worth more as feeder cattle than at 5 to 8 and lower in value. Most on here relate to 60 and 90 day calving seasons and even give ol Bessie a second chance as a fall calver if she is empty for spring. Those excuses cost money and reduce uniformity, we don't keep employees if they don't give a day's work for a day's pay either. Feed quality is first ‘excuse’ for higher open and late percentages, predators are second highest. Have you ever noticed a cow cycling and being bred when you are driving or moving them to a different pasture and then noticed she calved a cycle later next spring? Take that and have them being run by wolves or bears almost daily and it is amazing any breed at all. [/QUOTE]
