[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1774947, member: 12607"] When I was 18, I don't think I'd have needed a rest... I'd have just gotten on with the job! Breeding cows ain't 'work' for a young bull - it's life! There's no 'replenishing'... they're continually making sperm cells, day after day. Today's spermatozoa started their maturation process 60 days ago. They don't 'store' 6 weeks' worth of semen. If they're in good condition - and will continue to have adequate feed while they're out... there's no reason that I can think of to hold them off - unless timing is better for you, so far as selling the bred heifers.
