[QUOTE="Lee VanRoss, post: 1654048, member: 40072"] [B]anewcomer> [/B]Record is kept on all cows regardless of age. If any cow is late with a calf (heifer or bull) no calf from that cow will ever be retained in the herd again. As soon as the calves are weaned (usually dark of moon- October) the cow will be sold. Cows being sold are usually fed enough to improve body conditioning for market. Body conditioning is extremely important, during 3rd trimester so they (especially heifers) will cycle within 90 days of calving. Remember it is not the time you leave the bull in but the timing of selection. The bull can't breed what ain't there. This may seem expensive at first but the cost of a late calf is unrecoverable and can be continous if allowed over time. Aside from that don't calve in cold weather, maintain a good mineral program and don't let too much iron and oil come between the sun and the ground. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
