[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1177969, member: 19938"] I seem to have pretty good production longevity in my herd. It could be genetics.....but it may help that I pull my calves off to give the ole girls a break well before the next calf. Any mammal is bound to be stressed having babies one right after another with the demands of pregnancy and nursing. If you are turning over your cows like your underwear, it doesn't matter what you do. If you are wanting longevity from a certain cow(s) take care of them and give them a break. Personally I hate to see those great big calves butting a pregnant cow in the gut. JMO which is not worth much. :D [/QUOTE]
