[QUOTE="Flatbroke, post: 943112, member: 18114"] It seems to me that with a small herd of cattle and a small ranch that you could just run the bull with the cows year arround. When the cow comes back into heat after calving she could be covered on the first cycle, in the end over enough years it seems the cow could possibly produce one extra calf this way. That is the way most hog ranches are run why not cattle? I understand most setups have farming etc to do and time is of the essence for them but I am retired and can watch them close. Winter could be a problem but even up here in Montana they are calving in Jan or Feb. So tell me what I am missing! Fire away. [/QUOTE]
