[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 733605, member: 7509"] DB, If you can keep two separate groups, and have 6 cows or heifers, and want calves through the entire year, why not just move a cow over to the pasture with the bull every two months. Then in two months move another cow into the bull pasture, then in another two months add another. When they calve take them out of the bull pasture.... If they have eartag numbers, just go in eartag number order so you will always know which one goes next. Keep a little notebook of which cow goes in when and then you will also know about when each one should calve ( about 290-300 days after being put in wih bull on average). This way you will have calves evenly spaced through the year about every two months. If one does NOT calve about when expected then cull. Just an idea for you. Goodluck. Jim [/QUOTE]
