[QUOTE="Lee VanRoss, post: 1654083, member: 40072"] [B]an> [/B] . Just enough to improve condition as .needed, Attitude can have a bearing but I assume you already have that covered I do want to make it clear the calving period is not 30 days but around 60 days depending on what is taking place at the time. The time for retention is restricted to the 1st 30 days. A cow having a calf in the 2nd 30 days is not necessarily removed but any calf she has after that will not be kept for breeding, Any cow with a calf after 60 days is removed and of course the calf at marketing, usually @ 10- 11 months. Hard part is to remove a cow that has calf in the 1st 30 days for 4 generations then has one in the 2nd 30. Also I do not breed heifers before 15 months. Remember you cannot abdicate responsibility for setting the calving period and maintain control of the results.. [Your question sorry.... I do not winter open cows. As long as we're here , Bulls are up to you of course. Just remember if you are using large bulls you will eventually have large and therefore hard keeping cows. With that in consideration the longer you can keep a cow the more uniform your herd and therefore your calves .
