Cypress, boss runs herd bulls year round in the dairy herd and we have several that run a 10 month calving interval. And those are holsteins that are milking pretty heavy -- I'm sure a beef cow that had very little stress on her (dry cow) would breed back at least that quickly -if not quicker- if given the chance.
