[QUOTE="jcarkie, post: 30390, member: 20"] an easy keeper is a cow that doesn't take very much to stay in good shape. raises a good calf rebreeds quick and winters easy. depending on your area fall calving takes more feed than spring, if hay is cheap or you can stock pile fescue it can be profitable. in the south our winters are mild and alot of people calve in the fall, because summers can be hot and dry and pasture gets short. i like to calve in feb. & mar. rebreed in may and june when the grass is thick and then cows are dry through the winter. i don't have any idea how to keep a cow from letting everything suck, my grandpa had one that he had to seperate from the others, she gave a lot of milk but i have seen four calves at a time nursing. bos indicus is brahman influence.
