[QUOTE="dun, post: 48656, member: 34"] Much of it has to do with what seasons you have other commitments that would prevent being able to manage the calving period. If you AI you also need to be able to work that into the seasonal schedule. I've been thinking of how many would be feasible to split a herd. I would think you would need enough in each herd to make the increase in labor pay off. It would probably require two seperate wintering pastures/areas because of the differences in nutritional requirements. Post weaning you would want to move the cows to dry off to a pasture /feeding area so that you could keep the wet cows and young claves on the best forage available. dun [/QUOTE]
