[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 631655, member: 13"] I think you're right to move your calving season now, rather than wait until you have a larger herd. We've been moving to a spring calving season for a couple of years and it's been a pain. We should have just bit the bullet two years ago. I'd suggest you get any bull calves away from females at about six months old. For sure by the time they're eight months old. We wean ours together at seven months and watch them to be sure the young bulls aren't capable of breeding. If they seem to be, we'll watch the heifers for heats and shoot any hiefer with Prostaglandin after the bulls are gone to test. They'll surprise you how young they can breed or get bred. [/QUOTE]
