[QUOTE="simme, post: 1668901, member: 40418"] I calve in the fall and wonder if that would work better for you - extreme heat makes it hard to settle cows. Got some ear blood in the cows? That might help. I would be interested in thoughts on fall calving vs spring calving in Texas. Matching the breeding time to the time that better forage is available is a consideration as well. Pulling the bulls a couple weeks earlier each year should by definition tighten up your calving window and will automatically select for fertility in the cow herd provided they have adequate nutrition. But will increase the culling rate until the goal is reached. [/QUOTE]
