[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1465419, member: 968"] "almost all my calves are born in spring, so they usually all grow and breed back at the same time. When a bull breeds them they are ready IMO." Please clarify. If you calve in the spring (March, April, June??) Any heifer calves born in June (youngest) would be 22 months old if they calved in March. I'm not understanding where the "most calve around 18 months old"?? That would mean "most" calve in the fall if born in the spring. When a bull breeds a 5 month old heifer (5 + 9 = 14 months old) - I consider that rape - and I would lutalyse her to abort the calf. You must have miracle cattle to survive that management IMHO Glad it works for you. [/QUOTE]
