[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 518915, member: 7398"] I've not had any problems with cow breedback or winter body scores on cows. I don't grain either. I don't know that the winters here are really that bad (worse than oklahoma :lol: ). My fall is exactly as you say (aug/sept) which means I'm breeding back in November. Typically a decent month for outdoor work yet. Bull utilization is a big bonus. I typically don't need to run a bull pen. The ol boy just switches herds after AI is done. Bull procurement is also easier. Everyone in Michigan is trying to sell or lease out bulls at that point. I think the buying public would prefer an 18 mo bull as well, but storing bulls any longer than I have to seems to be a drawback to me. I don't think people will actually pay that much more for an 18 mo bull than a yearling. Hard to say till you try. [/QUOTE]
